    Obscure the CVV on the card ?

    And when you want to use it....

    Retailers do not store CVV. If they do it's a massive fine.

    Surprising a lot of retailers process transactions without the CCV (their choice)
    Life in the slow lane

    in august last year my cc company told me a new cc was being sent.
    it arrived with new number. the replacement card had same expiry date as the old one. i queried this and what the problem was because no activity on my statements.
    The cc told me they are regularly sent a list of card numbers by mastercard that have been compromised by data loss by companies and the exchange of cards was no reflection on me
