This dual-verification procedure ensures that the associated credit card cannot be used to purchase tickets if the account is accessed without the member's permission, which effectively prevents the unauthorized use of stolen membership cards.
2) One-Key Payment is more convenient:
With an associated card, the payment is made as soon as the user clicks "Confirm payment"; and the user does not need to enter any additional verification information.
