My account just got suspended because of a small mistake I made, and I want to find something similar. The other options I’ve found have higher fees, are prepaid cards (which I want to avoid, if possible), or both. I’m not looking to do ads or any blackhat activity, I just want someing similar in features while being less frustrating to use. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone in the U.S., like myself? Thanks for helping me out again!

I bank with C1, but they don’t offer VCCs for their bank accounts. I am thinking of getting a Citi card, though, and I’m fairly certain the one I want has Citi’s version of VCCs.

They offer VCCs if you have one of their credit cards.
That’s true, but I’m not that interested in one of their CCs at this time. I’m still early on in my CC journey, and they do have some cards I would want later on.
I’ve had so many issues signing up for them. They can never verify my identity, and their support is utterly useless about my case. If I could use them, I would. It really does suck that there is a lack of virtual card options, maybe someone can be the change.

I hear you, but I have positive experience with them. Account got opened very fast, I think it took about 2 days, but I was able to pass everything without any issues and use them for over a year successfully. I am not sure about your experience with their support - chat support through the app is pretty fast, I get responses within minutes, while my local bank wants me to listen to music for 20 minutes while I wait for the next available representative.
That's my only experience with disposable virtual cards, unfortunately I am don't know any other services.

Revolut offers unlimited vcc?
Are you in Europe? I’ve heard people recommend them to people in the EU, but I am in the U.S. They do offer accounts to U.S. citizens, but I don’t know if they’re better across the pond.

one time use I think is unlimited, just virtual cards, 8 simultaneous, at least it was at some point (I got a messages about 8 max limit when I wanted to add more) , but if you close them you can open a new one.

Could you explain more, I searched and some sites say the limit is 200 virtual cards per individual
This is from Revolut website
"Every individual can hold up to three physical cards and up to 200 virtual cards. Limit applies to all Revolut Business plans. You can hold multiple cards for free, we don't charge any extra fees for cards. Read more about ordering the card, fees and deliveries."

They offer physical cards, multi-use virtual, and one-time-use virtual.
I had at one point 8 virtual cards and wanted more, but the system told me I can only have 8 per month. It wasn't recent, probably it's different now.

I am non US/EU citizen having a US LLC.
Trying to registered twice with Revolut Business but its quite hard to verify the account they don't accept 3rd country owner having a US LLC...probbaly need to ask a local EU friend to create biz account with their info...but this method needs to have my friend name appearing as one of the LLC's owner which means doctoring with document to fake it as I am the sole owner...besides that I need to have a fake US electricity bill too... Revolut is painful with their strict verification
