It's not a matter of having a credit card with a low credit limit, perhaps I wasn't clear - it's a *single use* credit card. There is no possibility of them taking any further money from the card because effectively it expires the moment the transaction is completed. You load it with money from your bank account or wherever - use it for a particular transaction - throw it away...
