MasterCard Bans Cross Sales

...and not pre-checked, which is clearly the bigger issue here.

I am sort of hoping that Visa gets the memo from Mastercard and chooses to do the same thing, I suspect at this point that it is only a matter of time. I would have to think that the cross sale chargebacks are piling up and all the fake / made up billing companies in the world can't sweep that much shit under the digital rug.

Actually, if you read Ron's post, it does say "pre-checked cross sales" in there.

Right on with MasterCard!

Anything that forces disclosure is good.

Even the best exposed prechecks are bad, but tempting to those trying to milk every penny. The stats will show you why they do it.

But I could absolutely live with nothing but unchecked cross sales. To me that's not really different from what amazon does. If a user has to actually take action to say "yes, i want to buy that too", that's pretty solid.
