The issue here is that the expiry date field is in an <iframe> that is disconnected from the cc-number field. For a credit card section to be valid for autofill/autocomplete, it must contain a "cc-number" field and one of the following: autocomplete="on" attribute, cc-exp field, cc-name field. Since the expiry date is disconnected from the cc-number field, we will never show the autocomplete dropdown.

This is probably a case of a hidden form that has two-way data binding on the visible form. In other words, if we the browser autofill the credit card number, the we the browser probably autofill into some hidden fields that then are copied into the visible fields via website logic.

Now, on obi.de, the "name on the card" field is also displayed but as for the expiry date field, the CC dropdown is not triggered for that field. The clear form issue is tracked in bug 1688604.
