This has got all the makings of a great idea!

You never use your actual credit card but simply use it to fund a
subsidiary card with a different number, etc. and with a credit limit
that is user specified and otherwise circumscribed.

This could be the answer to a lot of credit card fraud.

I like it!

But does such a thing already exist?

Citibank offers virtual account numbers, tied to your real number,
which can be used only once.

Paypal will allow you to do this, and it will probably be free for
you. I have account, and once you get it tied to your bank account,
you can transfer funds between it and paypal for free up to like $500
a month I think. I haven't used the virtual cradit card yet, but once
you log into your account, there is a link at the bottom for Paypal
shops. Once in the shops section, there a link for "shop anywhere",
which will allow you to go to any websight and shop with a virtual
credit card tied to your Paypal account.
