What Is the Card Security Code? |
|
Using the Required Card Identification (C
ID)
A CID is a special security code feature on your American Express, Diner's Club,
Discover, MasterCard or Visa credit card. |
|
|
How does my C ID protect me?
CIDs are not raised, so they are not scanned into standard
credit card readers. In theory, these numbers are only
visible to you. When you give your CID to a merchant, you
assist the merchant in verifying that the order is being
placed by you, the card holder. |
|
Why do we ask
you C ID when you place and order online?
We require you to enter your C ID whenever you place an order online
to help us detect fraudulent use of your card before your account is charged.
This simple step allows us to greatly enhance the safety and security of our
ordering process. You may receive a call from our Credit Department to verify
your order if your CID is missing or invalid. |
