I really like he DiscoverCard concept of Secure Online Account Numbers (SOAN).
They will generate a unique secure credit card number that can only be used for charges from one vendor.
I have tried this with Android Market purchases and it does not work.
Here's what i believe happens:
1 Google Checkout charges the card number for a $1 processing fee.
2 Then they give my card number to the App Vendor to charge the app fee.
3 DiscoverCard accepts the first charge, but denies the second because it is from a different vendor (ie: not Google Checkout)
I don't want to give up using SOAN and give out a "real" credit card number that could be stolen and used for any charges anywhere.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Or a comparable alternative?
Ideally, there would be an App Store that would charge my card for every Android purchase i make and then distribute the proper amount to the app creator.
Then i could use the same SOAN every time i bought an app through the App Store.
