No, the Petal 1 Card does not offer temporary credit card numbers, so you’ll need to wait until your physical card arrives to use it. Your Petal 1 Card should arrive within 6-10 business days after you’re approved. You can call Petal customer service at 1-855-697-3825 to request more information about the status of your card.

After you click the symbol and enter the verification code sent to your phone or email, a one-time-use virtual card number will be created to replace your real card number during the transaction.
