The whole "CBA can see your CC history" is silly. The concern was that Visa and MC store data in the US and unlike the records of a US citizen, law enforcement doesn't need a warrant to ask for it from the company. It wasn't that your every purchase is automatically put into a CBP database that is instantly checkable just by typing in your name.
If CBP goes to the trouble of finding out who you have a CC with, going to the company with a request, waiting for a reply and then combing through those records; you've already been detained and in a heap of trouble.

It's not silly at all. As you said, CBP can access our credit card info anytime they want. It would not be hard at all to gather info before hand of people who have bought pot and have had pot sent to their homes. It's definitely a concern. Go ahead and use your credit card if you're not worried about it but I wouldn't.
