The pretext for this change by Visa is that some cardholders are making false claims to the card company.
This "stolen" sounds like it might be a different kind of false claim.
Can consumers operate while maintaining impeccable high ground?

I for one am appalled that visa is making merchant fraud easier, making payments less controlled by cardholders.
I've heard banks tell me "well, you signed a contract with them, so we need to let the charges go through", or the "for your convenience"...
No, my bank has a fiduciary duty to me. If blocking a charge causes me to get into conflict with the merchant, that's between the merchant and I - my bank shouldn't be taking any "side" (and if they do, it should be mine).
