I don't know if mylotters aware of this. But most of credit card companies now can give you disposable credit card numbers to use for internet purchasing. It can only use on time, so you don't have to worry hackers will steal your credit card information, and you can shop online worry free. if you credit card holder you can ask the company that issue your credit card about this. So far i only know American Express, Citibak, and MBNA.

Wow That is really interesting. I got my credit card specifically for online stuff and am always concerned that someone will steal the number on me. I have a low limit for that reason! This way I wouldn't need to worry. I might become a pain waiting for a new one all the time though unless you can get more than one at a time. I will have to see if I can do that. Thanks for the info. :)

yup, it said it only the credit card company that know your information with this disposable credit card number. The store or other party where you shop don't even know it. I wonder how it's gonna works, just about to call my credit card company about this.

I call my credit card company, and yes they can issue this VIRTUAL credit card number. It is link to your real credit card, but it will hide your real credit card number and ONE USE ONLY, so any hackers or thieves cannot use it twice. My credit card company don't charge anything to use that feature.
