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. But it's available for business use only.

Robinhood Gold Card, only in the states.

Wise, not sure if exact limits are available.

Context: I recently purchased a hotel stay where a merchant charged my card for the advertised price on their website, the amount was then refunded. Then another merchant charged my card a higher amount (a few hundred) all in a few seconds of the original transaction.

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, does anyone have experience with this?

A bit more setup is required but I love having a Wise (formerly TransferWise) account for the virtual cards and the low fee currency conversion.
