> I’d prefer if it wasn’t MasterCard since I use Visa cards, but I can’t complain too much.

I'm curious: is this because your preferred bank mainly issues Visa cards, or are there things about MasterCard that you don't like?

My bank mainly issues Visa cards. I’ve had multiple cards throughout my life, and I’ve never had a master card before.

I’d like to just add this feature to my existing cards that I already have set up for payments.

Completely off topic:

What I really want in life is:

1. If I could have a virtual credit card that could act as a proxy card and would let me use different cards based on the items I was purchasing (ex: if I’m getting gas, one of my credit cards may give better rewards)

2. A virtual mailing address that would resolve to my current address when used with any shipping provider. I move every few years and hate mail forwarding and updating my address everywhere.

Settle down and have kids. Your problems will be solved.

Not necessarily if one works for a firm that moves you every few years. My family and I have lived in 5 cities in the past six years, due to changing work assignments.

I hope they pay you well. Moving is the worst.
