Look, I order stuff from all over the world to Japan. Big stuff, little stuff, expensive stuff, cheap stuff. Filling in the CC form on a secure server is enough for everyone but B and H it seems.
Why is that?
Partly because if it's the right thing to do, then it's the right thing to do whether the next guy does it or not. Partly because ANYONE who has your card # can type the little digits into the form and if they do (with card-absent transactions) the burden's entirely on us) we're out. Partly because Visa, MasterCard, etc are stiffening the requirements for retailers all the time and we're trying to be proactive.
I see no protection for me that a photocopy of my CC back and front is sitting in a filing drawer in NY, and copied or stolen or who knows what could happen to it. Do you?
Based on the statistics, I do. In all the time we've had this procedure we've NEVER had a customer's credit data violated. It's a remarkably effective deterrent to internat'l credit card fraud and it's YOUR credit data we're protecting.
