Card Verification Codes
[ CLOSE WINDOW ]

The Card Verification Code is required for Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card transactions on our website. Card Verification Codes are an added security feature to help protect you against online fraud.

The Card Identification Number is a three- or four-digit number that either follows your credit card number, or is shown immediately above it (in the case of American Express). Because the number is printed, not embossed, on your credit card, it is not printed on your receipts and thereby helps ensure that someone is not using your credit card information fraudulently.

Mastercard and Visa have three digits printed on the back of card, to the right of the credit card number, as shown in the image to the left.
American Express has four digits printed on front of card, usually just above the credit card number, as shown in the image to the left..
Discover Card has three digits on the back of card, printed after your credit card number, as shown in the image to the left.
