how do Bank of America ShopSafe cards work? IS there a Bank of America Virtual Card?
I have a Bank of America credit card. They offer a free service called ShopSafe: they will generate a virtual credit card number, along with expiration and the 3-digit code. The card is linked to my ordinary credit card but it has a different number. I can get any number of them, they are practically disposable. I used them a lot to create several PayPal accounts, each with a different credit card linked to them. In fact I was using the same actual credit card account, but different virtual credit card numbers, thanks to ShopSafe.
Now, if you know how such virtual credit cards work, could you please answer this question:
when I enter the (virtual) credit card number to link it to my new PayPal account, will PayPal get my real name and street address when it authorizes the card? Could I use a slightly different or a completely different name and street address in my PayPal account, and still link a ShopSafe virtual credit card to it?
