Yes, I immediately thought of Citi's Virtual Account Numbers.
Citi also offers a card with no annual fee and 2% cash back, so if you use Final you're effectively paying $49 plus 1% of your spending each year for a trivial increase in piece of mind that you didn't need to begin with (because you're not liable for fraud).

Will have team take a look tomorrow and adjust it to the intent is clearer, this reads weirdly. Honestly, don't think the wordplay was intentional, we just went through our second PCI level 1 audit & take cardholder security & privacy very seriously.
I don't think this was some kind of wordplay attempt around dealing a deck of cards. Hopefully they're just "dealing with" the information instead. Typos in statements proclaiming how safe and secure they are...
The concept seems fine, I think some of this is already possible with other card issuers. I doubt I would pay a $49 annual fee for the service when there are free cards available.
