The fact people here don’t even understand how credit cards work is a pretty big sign my guy….

The fact that you think it’s reasonable for literally anyone but you to give out your credit card details is a pretty big sign my guy

Because banks don't give out credit card details.

You created an authorization code which is independent from the credit card details. The authorization code doesn't get revoked automatically when a card expires or a new card issued.

Jesus tap dancing christ. I understand the difference between CC + CCV + expiry date and an oauth token (or whatever protocol they’re using for identification and authentication). I’m saying that not expiring auth codes when new cards are issued is a security and privacy issue. Users should ideally be given a switch to opt in to behavior like that. It should not be the default.
