Oh that's not shady at all. Assuming all this is legal (I doubt it, but hypothetically) how is this a good marketing tactic? Having all this info already stored comes off as way more creepy than convenient as evidenced by the author of the article. And yeah, I can't see this being legal in a thousand years.

If you're used to thinking about this from our side of things, sure. For Random Person, they might think, "gee, this is neat! And they've already got my card number and everything!"

No, random person thinks what we all think: "how the hell did they get my credit card details?!?!"
