Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit? (www.rbcroyalbank.com)

A few cards that I read about.

RBC virtual card, seems to do what I need.

Robinhood Gold Card, only in the states.

Wize, not sure if limits are available.

Context: I recently purchased a hotel stay where a merchant charged my card, refunded the amount, and them charged my card a higher amount, all in a few seconds.

Edit: I found Wise provides limits on their virtual cards. I have yet to test how this works and if the transaction is declined for Insufficient funds.

Can you use privacy.com in Canada? Skiming their terms it seems to state its only for the USA
