That way, more cautious risk averse folk like me would be happy and the more adventurous would be catered for as well.
If stolen the card can be used multiple times on the limit...so if it were one hundred, imagine how much you'd lose? To some, losing a tenner would be catastrophic, to others not so - just annoying. That's without the online use.
