Do you have a screenshot?

in the space where you enter/confirm your credit card details there are 3 checkboxes but they say business, Personal, or other, not "leisure" (at least not for me).


so I'm not sure if this is the same thing being discussed. But if it's this, then yeah, that's been there as long as I can remember.

In other words, it's none of their business (but that's not a choice for boxes to check).
"other" probably fits that the closest
