That (“card by phone”) is a problem of trust. Whatever happened to that concept? I’ve given away my CC details probably hundreds of times in the pre-internet era (travel agencies, hotels, phone-order, etc.), because I had the details of and trust for the opposite end. That trust is increased through a platform provider is a fallacy imo. The only two times I experienced dodgy charges to my CC that needed refund were because of database leaks/breaches. Go figure ;)
