Debit cards are something we're looking towards in the near term, credit cards probably will have to be a premium feature (due to how we make money right now).

The numbers can be one-time use (burners) or re-usable at the same merchant.

I've never understood why virtual numbers can't be used across different merchants. Why is this? Are there any that do offer this capability?

Doesn't that go against the whole point of this?

No, since the ability to limit the amount and the expiration date as well as the ability to close a number at will is immensely useful on its own. (Citi lets you do all of those.)

I can't use this right now because all of my spending goes on a rewards credit card, but if you offered credit card support as a premium feature I'd be signed up in a second. I hope to see that feature soon!
