Re: cvv number

Per the truncation laws that were recently passed it is unlawful for the whole credit card number to show. If you had that information as well as the CVV code, thats an open door to identity theft. Not saying that is your intentions but if that info stored in your database were to become comprimised you could be in a world of financial problems.

Besides you will never need to refer to a cvv number whereas that is a security type feature to assure the merchant that the cardholder has the card and is typically not going to be a fraudulent transaction.
