Apple Pay and Google Pay have their own virtual numbers, rather than using your regular card number, but the number doesn't rotate.

For example, our local bus company can quite happily offer capped daily and weekly fares when folk use the same device to pay.

Your local bus company isn't trying to correlate your activity across multiple retailers to try to squeeze an extra few cents of value from you, though.
