hold it, don't you need to authorise those payments via a OneTimePassword (OTP? if a CC company can take your money without your authorization, then it is a very good way to scam people

In India, all such Credit Card purchase needs to be validated via OTP and PIN. Passwordless purchase is only possible for some cards and they require physical access to PoS machine and low purchase amount to work.

With a credit card linked to an Amazon account there doesn't seem to be a need to acknowledge the transaction. It's weird, but it seems to work. I have no idea why Amazon gets to do that but every other store out there can't.

I don't know about the US, but here in the Netherlands I only get an OTP check once every 10 online cc purchases or so. The bank debit card gets an OTP check every time though.
