Do any of you use the Bank of America "Shop Safe" feature that lets you generate a one-time use credit card number that is linked back to your main credit card?
This week it stopped letting me create new numbers. Whenever I tried I got an "update in progress. You may continue to use existing numbers" message.
Today I contacted BOA tech support and they told me that there was a new update that seems to have gone sour and that "Shop Safe" can't keep up with newer browser features etc. etc.
Bottom line, assuming I can believe what I was told, is that I will never be able to create a new virtual credit card number. So, effectively, "Shop Safe" is toast.
Is anyone else having problems?
I hate BOA and would consider applying for a different credit card if it offered a similar feature. Being FIRE'd, with no earned income, I am not sure if it would be a problem getting a new card.
I thought someone a while ago told me that Capitol One had a similar feature, but will have to look into that.
Anyway, I figured I would mention the problems and see if others with BOA are also having problems.
Thanks.
Joe
