RE: [OT] Virtual Credit Card Numbers

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

According to the blurb on the site.. (paraphrased)

" A virtual card appears to a retailer to be identical in all respects
to an
original card in terms of the cardholders details, even down to the level
of
specially issued CSV digits. The only difference will be the available
credit that can be debited from the account and the time period for which
it
remains valid, all automatic card and address verification systems will
work"

Maybe some credit card companies implementations of such cards are
different.
