Credit Card Identification Code(Security Code/CVV/CVC/CID):

The Credit Card Identification Code, or "Card Code," is a 3 or 4 digit Security code that is printed on the back of credit cards in reverse italics in the card signature panel (or on the front for American Express cards).

Security Code/CVV/CVC/CID Location:

• Discover/Visa/MasterCard: On the back of the card, you should see a 16-digit credit card number followed by a special 3-digit code. This 3-digit code is your CID.
  
• American Express: There is a 4-digit code printed on the front of your card just above and to the right of your main credit card number. This 4-digit code is your CID.
  

Debit Card Information:

It is NOT recommended that you use Debit cards. Because of the timing of the charges after the draw, and the way some banks handle overdrafts, it is possible that you may incur substantial penalties if there are insufficient funds in the account when charges are made either now or after the draw. These penalties WILL NOT be reimbursed by the Department. It is recommended that you use a Credit card rather than a Debit card to avoid these potential problems.
