There is a lot more to the system, but it would bore the socks of you. Oh and not scare anyone but the average "merchant" does not encrypt, and they store your numbers in their POS system until they do their upload. Often times number are stolen right from those systems.

Scott that's pretty comforting.
It suprised me when they said they weren't sure.... It's pretty much Online Security 101 to never store the credit-card number on a publically exposed system. They intimated it was a possibility and it left me questioning... Glad to hear they adhere to at least SOME best practices.
