July 21, 2006, Newsletter Issue #25: Prevent credit card fraud with a single use credit card number
Tip of the Week
Make your online purchases even more secure with a single use credit card number. These numbers are issued by credit cards as a way to keep hackers from committing information credit card fraud. Single use credit card numbers are different from your regular credit card number, but they are attached to your regular credit card account. They expire immediately after use, so even if a hacker is able to view your online activity, your information will remain safe. The credit card number will be invalid when someone else tries to use it.
When you apply to your credit card company for a single use credit card, find out how long it will be good for. Some will require you to use them within 90 days, while others will be valid as long as your credit card account is valid.
