But they don’t get the invoices of what you bought, just the total payment amount.

Unless they work with an analytics system that mastercard, visa & amex participate in to link card numbers to invoices for better advertising & affiliate data.

I know FB & Google purchase something like that from one or two credit card companies, so I wouldn't be surprised if merchants were in to it too.
