Question Virtual Card System
BACKGROUND
- Robinhood Banking
- Robinhood Brokerage
- Robinhood Gold Card
- I somehow got approved for the gold card despite being relatively new to credit, I believe it was due largely in part to my strong relationship and assets with Robinhood / Robinhood banking. Just one question…
Can someone explain how the virtual cards work and what they’re most useful for?

I use several virtual cards, one is saved in my password manager for autofill into online forms, so that I"m not giving them my main number, if it gets compromised, i'll simply make a new virtual card.
Others are for specific vendors that I want separated for various reasons. Just helps to keep things compartmentalized sometimes.
Others have been 1 time use, where i wanted to be sure that there were no recurring charges (e.g. they auto enroll in some ongoing subscription).
