Original Post:
In recent times Citi has made a number of changes to creating a Virtual Account Number (VAN), Citi update the card generation page to no longer use flash and also removed and then readded the feature for American Airline cardholders. Currently at the moment it’s only possible to generate a VAN with an end date of 7/21 or 8/21. At first it seemed like this was just part of the service as it was some period in advance, but as we continue to approach this date it’s unclear if Citi plans to discontinued the service at the end of August or make significant changes to VANs. We’ve reached out to Citi for comment but are yet to hear back.
