I have an AMEX card that expired in 2007 and it is still successfully charged by AWS each month. Apparently, it's a big pain to get customers to re-enter new payment details when cards expire, as a result I believe merchants are often allowed to charge to cards that have long since expired.
- uptown 15y agoJust curious ... why don't you update it?
- sjtgraham 15y agoBecause it works
- gcp 15y agoI was once very close to a server (that was in active use) getting disconnected/wiped by a hosting provider because my CC expired, and their mail to inform me of that got lost. Only figured that one when the site went offline, didn't come back, and I started bitching at their support. So I have some sympathy for the CC company being lax with recurring charges on expired cards. Would be a nice service if they went ahead and called you up in such a situation.
- click170 15y agoOne would think it would be common sense to double check recurring charges to a canceled card with the account holder. Then again, when have financial institutions ever followed common sense..
