Disposable and merchant-specific card numbers have been around for decades but never gained much traction. Probably because the meager benefits do not overcome the poor UX.


I think it may be related with more difficulties on tracking what you're shopping (likes) and more hassle on setting them up for every thing you buy (considering disposable virtual credit cards), which more likely will keep you away from buying instinctively and is not the desired outcome.
