Check out http://www.mbna.com and look for their "Shopsafe" service.  In 
short, you can generate temporary CC numbers that are linked to your 
real CC.  You can put limits on the temp numbers like a low limit, one 
time use and one-vendor use.  The last one rocks for "subscriptions" to 
websites ;)

It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
