Visa 1 - Amazon - Nil

Looks like Amazon have been first to blink.
It's hard to imagine two more distasteful organisations. Maybe Apple.

2-0 to Amazon I would f thought...Thousands probably switched to the Amazon Mastercard and Visa will reduce their fees too.

It is a weird one.
Did Visa credit have special high charges just for Amazon or Mastercard reduced their handling fees?
The place I work for get charged to same for both and Amex charge a much higher percentage (as does Apple pay).

Are Amazon not in bed with the only other viable card provider - Mastercard - with their "Bonus" or "Reward" scheme?
Sounds more like a case of sending business your mate's way to me...you know...just like the government did when awarding PPE supply contracts.

Not sure how you'd score that, because 1-1 sounds too generous to both sides - neither of whom have covered themselves in glory.
Maybe just perform the result through some shit medium, like mime.

A journo mate of mine has been following this one closely.
Sounds like it was six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Visa is talking to Amazon about reducing its charge.
Amazon were a bit taken aback by how many Brits didn't automatically switch their card/details with them - and worried at the last minute that they would genuinely lose a lot of customers.
Sounds like they both blinked, then pretended to go back to staring.
Talks still ongoing.

Yep. It could well be Visa that have caved first. Mods feel free to change topic to Amazon 1 - Visa Nil.
They are both cunts anyone, although if Amazon have won it probably diverts even more tax away from the UK Treasury. Visa pays some tax on its profits and Amazon STILL doesn't.
They are both cunts anyway and you can be sure the UK consumer will be the one that suffers.

Yeah, I read the headline elsewhere and concluded Visa had caved, not the other way round.
Maybe there won't be a publicly declared winner, but it's difficult to imagine Amazon couldn't have merely seen it through and elbowed Visa, having got as far as they have.

Definitely this. Too much money goes through Amazon for Visa to ignore.

Had my first ever credit card cloning incident a few days ago. TSB contacted me about a £94 Morrisons purchase at 11pm on a Thursday, obviously wasn't me so they declined the transaction so was no real issue.
Was completely miffed over how someone could have got the details. The card has been tucked away on the top shelf of a cupboard for over a year. The only thing it is used for is my Amazon Prime subscription.
The fraud bloke from the bank said it probably was a data leak from Amazon, but obviously impossible to say or prove. Definitely gave me a bit of a shock though.

I suspect all that £20 credit Amazon offered to customers to change their cards is a drop in the ocean for them.

Or Visa have dropped their fees to Amazon after seeing a massive drop in revenue.
More likely Visa 0 - Amazon 1
