Cahoot offer a handy `webcard` thingy which gives you a one-time

Agreed.


BUT don't use it to buy an airline ticket online. Most (all??) airlines require sight of the actual credit card when you try to board, and of course you don't have one with the 'correct' number.

This is what most airlines tell you - but I have never been asked to produce my payment card - ever. The only place it was a slight inconvenience was getting a cinema ticket and Eurostar - where the self service ticket machines needed to read the payment card.
