I've been shopping on the web and decided to use the
Secure Online Account Numbers from Discovercard.com:
http://www.discovercard.com/
I can log in to the account center and choose from
the CashBack bonus options and such. That part works.
But I want to login to the secure online account numbers
portion (from the home page, click learn more and then launch).
Or try:
https://deskshop.discovercard.com/thincard/main_thinclient.html
It eventually times out with a server error. Nothing is happening
in the Network Activity window or in the error log.
This works with Safari and Firefox. It does not work to have
OmniWeb pretend to be Safari or anything else. I tried a variety
of ad blocking and language settings. This was one of the times
I needed to launch Firefox.
Anybody else see this problem? I'm running OW 5.1.3 on a
dual 1.42 GHz G4 with 1.5 GB of RAM.
By the way, the secure online account numbers work very well.
Each one is essentially bound to only one online vendor, so
you aren't giving out your real account number everywhere.
And you can decide to do it when you're in the process of
checking out.
