"disposable" credit card options - greendot/money pack or major banks w/ "temp" accounts

[tankman1989]

I have a need to have a few credit cards/debit cards that are not linked to my business or personal accounts and preferably not my real address & SSN (I guess no name would be nice but not necessary).

The way these will be used is when I need to make a purchase from a new business, especially online, one of these cards will be used (either pay purchase amount needed to fill card or have one ready with $XXX.XX and keep card for later transactions). So the prepay credit card is what I'm talking about here. Ideally I would have one for each new business I am dealing with on a regular basis.

I'd also like to know if it is possible to have lots of low credit limit credit cards, like 10, from the same bank/issuer. This way I could set individual security levels on each card, maybe something like "only allow purchases from company "XYZ" for no more than $XXX. IDK how detailed these things can be with credit card companies.

Another big issue is dealing with purchases from china - straight from the manufacturer. Most request Western Union and I have never had a problem except for the 13% fee the one time. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

If my memory serves me correct the virtual generated credit cards still do the whole address match. The only way I know of to pay anonymously with a credit card is to buy prepaid cards like a vanilla visa with cash. You can register them online with any valid address (i cant recall if its full addr or just zipcode). Sometimes merchants anti fraud systems will trigger but if they accept paypal you can pay through paypal without making an account just enter the CC information like that and make the payment. Paypals anti fraud system is surprisingly not as sensitive.
