American Express terminated their "Private Payments" program a year ago.
Have they provided a new mechanism for generating virtual credit
card numbers?
In my experience, the dynamic generation of virtual credit card numbers
is a feature offered by the bank, not by M/C or Visa.
For example, MBNA and Citibank offer the feature but Chase
apparently does not.
Discover offers a similar feature.

you know both Amex and Mastercard (and probably Visa) will issue you
one-time CC numbers for use online. It's a little bit of a pain, but
could prevent a lot of hassle down the line.
These services haven't been used much for various reasons, but if they
get a lot of use I'm sure the companies will make them less cumbersome
(which itself could open its own problems...sigh).
