Perhaps it's beyond Amazon's imagination that a lot of poorer folks aint got bank accounts, or debit cards...???

..and most certainly can't easily 'transition' to a different credit card on Amazon's demands...

That's a nice xmas and new years slap in the face,innit..

..create mass demand and dependence on amazon prime services,
then threaten to make it all too exclusive out of reach for too many customers
who were seduced into buying into the prime eco system..


Gonna be a lot of useless echos and alexa enable appliances gathering dust...
