Is there any downside to using temporary credit card numbers with subscription services?
I did just what you suggest. The card company honored the charge, they told me the temporary number was solely for the purpose of assigning a number to one vendor/business. So even though I set a low limit, the number was still active and the card company paid the request. Small price to pay, but it didn't go as I wished.    For this purpose, I've used Visa/Mastercard gift cards. They are often on sale for face value and no additional fees.
