Card Details - Expiry
My credit card expired yesterday. So I have been updating the expiry on some sites I use. However for Netflix and Amazon my expiry dates had already been updated. I'm pretty sure that I did not do this. Are there some retailers that are able to automatically update card expiry dates themselves?

Re: Card Details - Expiry
The help information on the Amazon website says that you do it yourself. (http://tinyurl.com/z33thwy)
Are you sure you didn't update it when you ordered something?

Re: Card Details - Expiry
Most sites include details of expiry code in their requirements for registering and certainly for using a credit card. Do you mean that your renewal card has been automatically registered? This shouldn't happen without your input.
Re: Card Details - Expiry
Have you perhaps updated a linked account? Eg Audible is owned by Amazon - I'm not sure if the accounts share the same saved credit card details, but they might...

Well I ordered from Amazon before Xmas for the first time in a couple of years and I'm almost certain that I had to update the credit card details as they had expired. However my house insurance with LV= has not needed to be updated, and they get the new details automatically (or are able to use the old details).

Re: Card Details - Expiry
I've had an Amazon account updating my card expiry records without any input from me. As has been suggested, I'd used it for another online purchase (that didn't involve Amazon as far as I'm aware), and I was more bemused than annoyed that the Amazon records had been amended.
Ditto with my online subscription to the Financial Times, which has never needed me to input the new expiry date on a card in - ooh, let's see, eleven years.

Re: Card Details - Expiry
I doubt that a retailer would be able to automatically update the expiry date. And of course it's not always just the expiry date that changes, sometimes the card number is different too.

There was something in the Guardian about this a few days ago, something called Visa Account Updater which automatically informs Amazon of new card details. Mastercard have something similar.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense (logically speaking - the ethical/security side of the case is less clear). Either way, all is explained.
