About CVV or CVV2 Codes
A CVV2 (Card Verification Value 2) code is a security feature of your credit
card. It is an
extra 3 or 4 digit number printed, but not raised, on the back
of your card. On American
Express cards it is located on the front of the card.
(see below) By verifying the CVV2
code of your card, we can be sure you have the card in front of you. This along
with
address (and zip code) verification (AVS) is used to prevent fraud. The credit
card
companies require this code be provided to us on each sale for your protection
against
fraud.
If you cannot find the code on your credit card as shown below, please contact
your bank
or credit card company for assistance.
Visa, MasterCard & Discover
For Visa, MasterCard, and Discover
cards, the card code is the last 3-digit number located on the back of your
card on or above your signature line.
American Express Card
For an American Express card, it is the 4 digits on the FRONT above the end of
your card number.
