I'm guessing this is just a stop gap solution to test the waters while they try to find something better. Hopefully they're smart enough link your card to your phone number after the first transaction.

That doesn't sound very smart- when I change phone numbers, or if some one steals my number, I would rather not have to deal with the possibility of them buying stuff with my money!

You can contact them asking for a refund if that happens. They are pretty much forced to return the money or risk the chargeback.

That said, I think a phone number changing owner and someone else purchasing in the exact same store within the card expiration date isn't very likely. Can happen, sure, but that's about it.

You can add a password or ask for the cvv code. The main thing is not having to re-enter my credit card details every time.
