I have a card through my credit union that I only use for online purposes.  It is a credit card, but I can add funds to it and it functions like a debit card.  No $ - No charge.  It actually allows me to set the credit balance and when it posts, there is automatic transfer from my account and the card resets at $0 credit.

If someone snarfs it, the likelihood of getting anything is minimalized.

I confess to being a complete Luddite when  it comes to using my credit or debit 
card for 'Net purchases. The world and his brother assure me of secure servers 
et al but there's one key issue as I see it. While Big Business can probably 
afford to protect itself using any amount of security software and probably 
employ teams of IT people on humongous salaries, this may make *them* safe from 
unwanted depredations. I'm not in that position to throw money at my computer in 
protecting myself and if I very occasionally buy something on-line, it's done 
with the very greatest reluctance.
There's much to be said for living in a hard cash environment but unfortunately 
more and more companies don't seem to want to do business that way.
