Key takeaways
- Vendor-neutral. Confirm specifics with any provider you evaluate.
- No rates, rankings or affiliate links.
Why subscriptions are the best use case
A vendor-locked number with its own limit contains a renewal surprise. Cancelling the card number is cleaner than chasing a shared employee card after someone leaves.
Operating rules
- One vendor, one card, named after the vendor.
- Owner in finance or IT, not “whoever bought it”.
- Review unused cards quarterly.
