Amazon stopping visa credit card payments

I have just checked, it is not a scam Amazon have decided to no longer accept UK issued visa cards from January 2022.

They will continue to accept U.K. issued Mastercard, American Express and debit cards after this date.(source Reuters)

I just heard it on Sky news so sounds as though it’s true. I refuse to use my debit card online as the details that gives can lead to your bank account being emptied. I use Amazon quite a lot for convenience and quick delivery, much as I hate their tax avoidance and treatment of employees. I find it hard to believe that they will go through with this. They will surely lose vast amounts of business. Or are they about to launch an Amazon credit card I wonder?

I think this may be a scam email if Amazon intended this change it would be all over the media and business press.

I had one too. Is it a scam do you think ?

Is it really from Amazon so many scams trying to link to Amazon
