A comment on Paypal and Authorize.net: Help End the Credit Card Hostage Situation.

This is cute. Not even Chargify or Recurly support[1] the "standard" (as far as I know), and they have vaults! Show me a list of other gateways that support the standard, and then maybe you can get the big boys on board.

I used to work in politics. This is the sort of poke-the-giant thing that longshot candidates do, and it actually ends up reflecting more negatively on Braintree than anyone else. It's a tone-deaf PR move from a great company.

EDIT: Looks like Chargify sends the CC details to the gateway and they don't have their own vault: http://chargify.com/features/pci-compliant-security/

Just to clarify, we at Recurly will gladly return your credit card data to you (in a secure fashion) if you decide to migrate away. I've been burned before by Authorize.NET holding my business' credit card data hostage and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. We'll be posting more on this shortly.

I'm really happy that Braintree is pushing this forward. I've seen it hurt several companies when they need to switch gateways or merchant accounts.
