That's apparently a feature: https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/merchants/visa-accoun...
Reminds me of what was done in the military (I think it was in a European country). Officers were spending their time writing reports that were never read. They introduced a policy under which for a given time everyone should stop writing reports until someone complained that they were not receiving it. And if that didn't happen this type of report would be scrapped.
And it has been helpful. I mean maybe about 1% of it is read later at some point and helps clarify a situation. 99% of it is never seen again. That 1% of the time it's really helpful to have it.
I think I will stick with with the new next gen taxi service where one pays with cash.
If it expires or you get a new card in a normal flow it can be charged further.
Also, if you say: - Card was lost. - After reviewing all accounts, it was discovered that the CC information couldn't be deleted from the ubuer UI. - I hereby do not authorized uber to make any charges. - tell them in writing or record the conversation.
I don't see any way uber can make any valid charges against your account (assuming no more action on one's part).
I also wonder whether it follows CC guidelines/rules to keep CC information when the customer has explicitly tried to remove and communicated to the company to remove said information.
I have not heard this before. My bank certainly doesn't do this and its a major bank. I actually proactively ask for new cards periodically so that the old ones are no longer valid.
Verizon was able to charge against my old account for over a year. I kept getting snail mail letters from my bank telling me that the card I was using had been cancelled and that I needed to update it, but I kind of just wanted to see how long they would let it go.
In other cases, the bank will actually update the vendor with your new card number so that subscriptions are not interrupted.
