I have dozens of Internet accounts with various merchants who have
knowledge of my credit card.  In the next several months my credit
card will be renewed which will change its expiration date.  Is there
an easy way other than the obvious to avoid changing the expiration
date on each of these dates by hand?    Consider amazon.com as an
example.

Request for Question Clarification by tisme-ga on 15 Feb 2003 11:10 PST

My credit card expiry date changed a few weeks ago, and changing the
expiry date on internet websites was not as hard as I had expected. I
can recommend to you that you phone your credit card company and ask
for an extended expiry date. My main credit card will now expire in
2007.

I don't think there is an easier way to avoid changing the expiration
date for obvious security reasons. Can you please let me know what
type of answer you would consider to be appropriate to this question?

Good question, please let us know any more info
you find in your search.  Thank you.  I am doing
something related to this right now.

Renewal might also change the CC Number ...

In short, there is no obvious way in which you can automatically
update your accounts .... but maybe it's not a good idea anyway.

Most sites are set up so that the next time you go
to purchase something at one of them (Amazon, for
instance) it will just prompt you for the new expire
date.  In other words, you don't really have to be
all that proactive about it.  Some sites will email
you (such as PayPal) and remind you that your credit
card is about to expire.  I don't know of any way to
do a "single-click" solution to it though.
