Ah okay, makes sense.

In order to allow my use case, they removed your use case. Maybe this virtual card thing should have been in addition to the current system.

Hope they figure something out (or people find some easy loophole), I would be really annoyed if I were in your shoes too.

Thanks for the compassion and discussion today. I saw your other comment about keeping all virtual cards on the primary console and you're 100% right. I've been mulling over this all day but that solution just... Didn't occur to me. Thanks again!

No worries. Even I didn't think of it until @[email protected] mentioned the license.

Do let us know how it works out and if there are any kinks in the system, will be helpful in case someone else has the same issue.
