BoA online CC #s

[mycrowman]

I have a BoA card that lets me create online shopping numbers that are different than the account number. Can pp or ebay, connect these numbers to each other? If u created a different number for each account that should work right?

I already have an acct with BofA. This morning I opened 4 more savings acct online with them and transfered money to each new acct. Hopefully in a couple days, they'll all be up and working.

I am refeering to CC numbers, I think they use something called safepass, or something.

Yeah I know what you are referring to. I am 99% sure they would work. It's like how those Indians use their VCC's to verify their PP accounts.

If one gets linked they all should show up as separate accounts I am thinking.

Don't you need to add the primary account holders address as billing address? Wouldn't the accounts be linked this way?

Pls correct me if I'm wrong..

Hope you realize this thread is from 2008......it's very old and out of date.

I know this is an old thread but is this feature still with BOA available today?

Yes, it is called ShopSafe. It must be used with an actual CREDIT CARD, however, and NOT a debit card attached to a checking account.

I know this because I didn't WANT another credit card - complete with annual fees, and endless telemarketing calls hawking accidental death and dismemberment insurance - but I got one specifically for this.

The issue with this is that in order to change the address, you must do so in your account and then change it back. You can do it a few times, but eventually they are going to ask you WHY you are doing this. When they asked me, I told them it was because I was having a package sent as a gift. They told me to stop doing it that way.

How many times did you do it? And are you still doing it?

[jeffweico]

No, I didn't wan to lose my bank accounts. I was able to do it maybe 10 times before they called me.
