do they actually run the credit card or is it their name slapped on another company's product?

my UK "Amazon" card was really a NewDay card and the US one seems to be provided by Synchrony Bank

should really be called "Amazon Basics" credit card

They have the number of the card people buy with.

They don't issue credit cards, to my knowledge anyway. Given different around the world, banking laws I doubt they ever will, easier to let a bank deal with that.
