I keep one dedicated credit card for use exclusively for online and

restraint in keeping the balance paid off every month.

I've got a CitiCard, and they offer 'one-time-only' credit card numbers.
You just log onto the web site (or use their application), and it'll give
you an account number that's valid for one use, with an expiration date
one month away. It's great for online purchases.

The only time it doesn't work is with things like pizza delivery, where
you need to show a card to the driver, since the numbers won't match.
