Where can I find the card security ID?
You can find the card security ID on the front of most American Express cards and on the back (in the signature panel) of VISA, Discover and MasterCard cards. Please see the examples below.
What if my card doesn't have a card security ID?
Not all credit and debit cards have a card security ID number. If your card does not have one, please leave the 'Card Security ID Number' text box blank.
What if I can't read my card security ID?
If your card has a card security ID number but you cannot read it, you cannot use that card to complete your transaction. Please contact your credit or debit card issuer for assistance with the problematic card, or use another card.

Why does 82North.com request card security IDs?
We request your card security ID number to enhance the security of your transaction. The ID number appears on the card itself, and by requesting this number, we are helping to ensure that the cardholder is actually holding the card. This practice reduces the chance that an unauthorized person is fraudulently using your credit or debit card. We do not permamently store security ID numbers in our system. We will request the ID number whenever a customer uses a credit or debit card to make payments or donations online.
