It's part of the security measures koodo has in place to help prevent identity theft. Credit card information must match koodo account information, phone can only be shipped to same billing address as credit card, etc.

If the phone requires anything down that will be put on your card. All online orders require a credit card even if it's a $0 down phone that is ordered.

It is part of their anti-fraud requirements - you have to show you have a good credit rating so they will front the $360 loan (Tab).

That’s what I do: I drink and I know things.

They have already given me phones by checking my credit. It's just a way to get a credit card number out of me

Like mentioned above, its an anti-fraud measure.

And you are aware some folks don't maintain as stellar a credit rating as you, so re-checking at intervals makes sense.

Personally I think it is still required as it is built into their system
