Online credit transactions are a completely different animal than in person though, Flac. At least in person you have to have the physical card. That's the entire reason that online sites do things like requring the security code, verifying name matching, and if it's a purchase, only shipping to the billing address on the card. It's to coutner the fact that people can literally just memorize credit card numbers in order to use them online.

I would never, ever trust a site that was as lax on the credit authorization as that compaign site.
