Always use virtual credit card for online purchasing

I always prefer using virtual credit card while purchasing any product or service online.

One should not use physical bank account credit cards for the purpose of online purchase, as Intenret is now full of hackers.

They are always in try to make your account NIL and if you use your physical bank account credit card, there is always a chance of getting exposed of your bank account.

As it is always best to be safe than sorry use Virtual Credit card for any type of online purchasing with out infroming your identity.

These virtual cards can perform all the works like regular credit card and is safe. You can load it as per your requirement.

One more thing, your paypal account also can be verified using these cards.

So, don't worry & be happy.

Cheers,

Sourabh.

I prefer Paypal.com to pay online. IT is secure & best suites for me.

Using virtual card in online store, it gives unsafe feeling to me. I always afraid, that if someone hacks my card number, than i will be big shit for me.

Yeah I've been using PayPal for a while now and I haven't had any troubles. It is linked to my bank account so I can deposit and withdraw money easily. I'm also not comfortable using my credit card on the internet. It's so easy to get spyware these days you just don't know what can happen.

You can go with paypal , forget the paypal horror stories that have been published at many laces ,it is till proven to be the best online payment sending and receiving system .No other payment system is still as cloe to its reputation , so you can easily bank on it .Virtual credit card system is till risky as you do have to give a number , In paypal all you need is a email addess and the card number ( if you give them ) is inside the account and no one can ever know it .

i think Virtual Credit Cards are great alternative to common credit cards infact its also a good alternative from Paypal....

with regards to Paypal, it aint still that widely usable as compared to what a common credit card does. if we want to talk about wider audience span, it is still limited. some countries can't avail the full service of paypal, some countries have different conditions in using it.

the following link from Paypal, shows the condition that I'm talking about:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...ntries-outside

with regards to Virtual Credit Card, I can say its safe bec you tend to become more responsible in using it. you only put the load you wish to use/spend. even if the credit card number was to be compromise, no matter how many times it will be used, if the account doesnt have any load its will be useless. plus bec VCC supports popular CC's like Mastercard,etcc...you're most likely be able to use it in popular online stores.

To sourabhweb: thank you for mentioning that VCC can be used with Paypal, i didnt knew about that

Several major credit card issuers, including Citibank, are offering customers the option of shopping online with virtual, single-use credit card numbers, which expire within one or two months.the real benefit and aim is to thwart hackers by using a different, random card number every time you shop online. A virtual number is only good on the Web site where you made your purchase.An online purchase made with a virtual card number shows up on a customer's card bill just like any other purchase. Some issuers even list the virtual card number next to the charge.
