Personally I don't think recurring billing will stop before Visa or MC pulls out of the business entirely. Which I think is a logical step down the road. The problem as I see it is that Visa doesn't stop to look at the fact that most all internet business -- or card not present like phone sales -- has to be treated in a different manner than card present sales.
There is no other way to do it.
But that's up to them to realize that the fraud control methods and the crap they do behind the scenes does not discourage the situations or solve the problems either.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, all the way around.
Of course I haven't had a cigarette since Thursday either so you'll have to pardon me if I seem a bit on the ready to bash in someone's head with a blunt object side of things too.
