So the only cards I want to put automatic billing on are MC or Amex, not Visa.
And then there are all those people who don't have a Visa at all (only MC and/or Amex and/or Discover). How many of them would get a new card, vs how many would just drop Amazon? (We're talking about the
opposite of FTers here!)
