Kindle download charges causing Visa to put a hold on some credit cards?

without comments

James Fallows at the Atlantic reports that Visa froze his credit card because of “suspicious” charges — many tiny charges from Amazon for Kindle deliveries that … happen to be the same sort of test transactions that credit card thieves use to see if a credit card is valid.

Perhaps Amazon should let the credit card companies know about this?
