Cnet? Yeah, no.

The whole premise of how I use virtual cards is to separate - and block, as needed - charges from a given source.

If I use a physical card, it’s because I’m physically in a store and want to choose who charges my card, and when.

This is a step towards making it easier for random things to charge cards unexpectedly, and towards making it harder to dispute charges.

“You were there, per the thumb|face print. Therefore, you must have authorised it.”

That’s a sea change in how questionable charges/questionable disclaimers are handled.

Nope. I absolutely demand that protection, and if I lose it I’m taking my cash out of your bank ASAP and using that, suffering with change be damned.
