What is strange about that is they are using an old credit card that has expired. My new one has a different security code, expiration date, and billing address the bank pushed the updated information to amazon. The the customer would see the last four digits of the currently valid card in the payment form, when the client is asked to click on the wanted payment method. It can be verified if such is the case. My guess is that the bank "redirects" the payment request to the new card, same as they do with bank account numbers. For instance, I'm paying with my accounts things that the supplier have registered for recurring payments with my parents account many years ago. It is automatic over here. That may be the answer. I either order by phone, or in person, at the store. I try not to go to the store unless I have a specific purpose. (It is too hard to resist temptation.) -- PeterN |

It's tiresome updating the info for the replacement cards when it's the same account after all. it's more tiresome dealing with a compromised card. start using apple pay, and you'll only need to worry about inside leaks. I'm sure it's the same with Android Pay, close, but not quite. android pay is slightly less secure than apple pay. with both, the merchant doesn't get your actual card number, so even if their systems are hacked, your card won't be. but far too few places use it around here. It's ridiculous. I can't even threaten to take my business elsewhere because elsewhere doesn't have it either. around here, it's nearly everywhere, with restaurants being the big exception (mostly a cultural issue, not a technical one). some places say they don't support it, but they do. |

They picked up on sales that seemed perfectly innocuous to even me, and there have been no false positives at all, even for very large charges. with both, the merchant doesn't get your actual card number, so even if their systems are hacked, your card won't be. but far too few places use it around here.

You have several Trader Joe’s in Las Vegas and they use Apple Pay. I just got home from doing my pre-weekend resupply shopping, and one of the stops was our local Trader Joe’s where I paid $62 via Apple Pay using my iPhone. -- Regards, Savageduck |
