It sounds convenient for things like Uber, but should still be opt-in. Since the vendor can apply charges arbitrarily, having your new CC details shared without your knowledge doesn't feel right. I've never seen this anywhere, usually you get a warning that 'your payment method will expire' a few weeks in advance. Might be a US only practice?

It’s definitely a thing in Europe, but many merchants don’t bother to support it. Large ones like Amazon definitely do though, as do all merchants who use Stripe.
Are you sure on Amazon? I've definitely had cards expire (Visa Debit/Mastercard) that have not been updated.
Yes, though your bank has to also support it.
