or the comptroller of the currency ( http://www.occ.treas.gov/customer.htm) who has some authority regarding credits cards and financial transactions.
Do not let the folks in this thread discourage you. Your original concerns are valid. |
what's valid about fussing about a method of payment that is standard when dealing with the web? and for the record, I am not an angry person. get my belly full of whiners pretty easy, but that is far from angry

I have been. what on earth does that have to do with this issue?
The ability of people to take a step back and look at this policy objectively automatically dismisses many of the points being made within this thread.

Amazons only goal is to ensure that a credit card is directly linked for 1-click purchases in the future. Any other argument to the contrary losses that important point. |
actually
if you had been a member of this forum very long, you would have caught a fairly long thread about bank policies in Britain changing pretty much EVERYTHING over to a plastic environment. no checks (or should I say cheques?) for anything. so who exactly are you bashing? Amazon? the USA? the banks? it's obvious I managed to pull your chain somehow
