Many of the credit card clearing houses will not allow you to store card numbers anymore, neither electronically nor on paper. Every one of my restaurant clients got hit with this rule in 2003/2004 by their card processors. We had to update their POS systems and go through every one of their back-office computers to make sure they were compliant.
They say that you can store the batch number and the authorization number. That's it. Some of my clients push the envelope and keep the last 4 digits of the card number, in case the customer comes back and they need some reference. I can't blame them there. Anyway, don't store card numbers and your life will be much easier.
