We also have "virtual credit cards" that are just a CC number with an exp date and CVV that we can use for online purchases and that money comes out of our regular back account without the need for a credit account.

So, like, a debit card?

No, as you cannot use your debit card for online credit card interactions.

You can't use a debit card to buy things off Amazon.

That's a new one for me. I didn't realize in some countries you can't use a debit card on Amazon. To be clear, I'm not talking about an ATM card, I'm talking about a debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo.

You absolutely can, I did so this week.

what why??

Must be a regional thing, because no such restriction exists in the US

Funny that, since I said in my OP, I'm Canadian.

Oh, so you meant "on Amazon here" rather than the overly broad and objectively incorrect "on Amazon" that you wrote.
