I am really glad Citi isn't the only game in town with virtual numbers now.

I have a virtual card with capital one venture too.
Good to know, thanks! Every card should have this option.

Edit: This works anywhere (including Amazon), but requires a rather specific set of settings on with Chrome.
- Your card must be in your Google Wallet (wallet.google.com)
- You must be signed in to Chrome
- You must have sync on (either "Sync everything" or at least Payment methods checked)
- Note: Even if logged in, without sync on Chrome will not generate the card. This is despite the card appearing in Autofill > Payment methods.
Read Hibiol's post for caveats with using this on Amazon.

also noticed that my .02 in rewards i left in my acct got zeroed out in dec 2024.
i was saving those for amazon to use .01 for future 20% offers.
(i've stopped using discover since costco stopped accepting them online)
It works everywhere, like a normal card. I have been using it for a few months now.
The catch is this virtual card option is intended for single use, and Google x Discover have to verify and greenlight it every time you use one, so you can't save it for future purchases or recurring subscriptions as it may break (or may not, but it may break).
For example: Amazon usually charges you when they ship. You purchase 2 items in the same order, one shipped 3 days from now, the other 4 days from now. The item 3 days from now will likely go through, but Amazon may send you an email regarding payment declined for the item 4 days from now.
