Does it still require Flash? I always found that incredibly annoying.
Yes it still requires flash. I use it on a regular basis for most of my one-off online purchases.
Lets fire up Charles and reverse engineer it to make our own client using BOA API

natural rights are arbitrary and we decide what they are as a culture. god didn't pass your right to free speech to moses on mount sinai. i'm not arguing for guaranteed credit (as i already oppose capitalism) but i think guaranteed housing is both noble and easily achievable in the developed world
Believing that housing should be a natural right may be a reasonable position (even if I disagree that it is practical), but surely you don't believe that everybody is entitled to indefinite ownership of an arbitrarily expensive house . I don't have statistics, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most people whose houses are foreclosed end up paying rent for an apartment, rather than living on the street.
opposition to capitalism entails opposition to private property, as the latter only emerges from the former (in the formal sense, where one of the states' primary roles is enforcing property law). i don't claim to have a roadmap for how this would be incorporated in the united states were the social order suddenly upended

I thought we were just talking about whether it's immoral for a bank to foreclose on a home owner... Not sure where all this opposition-to-capitalism stuff came from.

#375Citi cards had this for a while, but got rid of it. It was quite nice, but needs more organization. Also the paypal model has it right. Even though I, like many others, loath paypal, I've been using them everywhere just to save time entering my CC. This doubles as security as merchant never get your CC in the first place.
Apple pay will probably fix the organization of the random CC # generation. Final seems to be a little late in the game.

#376bigboxesofwine.gov doesn't exist. I am disappoint. This is awesome though. It's like what 33mail.com does for email addresses, but even better.
Well, systembolaget.se and alko.fi do… Fantastic choice, exceptional service, and crazy expensive because the excise taxes are paying for the perfectly fine and very expensive education of Nordic children. Also, not available in the US. (Sorry, just left the country to start a new job in London, still under the shock of having cheap, good, strong alcohol in supermarkets.) More seriously, I think the sweater thing was…
I was wondering if that was a conscious decision. Here's the competitor's video: https://www.plastc.com/card

#377sounds like a great solution for chaotic credit card holders :) with a little bit of self-discipline you don't need this service

Who exactly told you it is impossible? My chase card lets me generate virtual numbers and use them during online transactions. I always use one when a trial requires a credit card. The number expires in one month and I don't have to worry about any shady billing practices.
Okay, seriously, I spent like 4 hours a couple months ago trying to figure out if I could do this with a Chase card, and failed. Can you provide URL/directions? I'm not kidding. As far as I could tell, they used to have such a service but didn't anymore; but maybe it's still hidden somewhere but just not advertised, and I couldn't find it?
Really sorry about the misinformation. I meant to say citi.

Chase debit or credit? I don't see an option for that in the online menus.
Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase. I meant to say citi offers the service.
