(a) With intent to defraud a purported issuer, a person or organization providing money, goods, services or anything else of value, or any other person, he falsely makes or falsely embosses a purported credit card or utters such a credit card; or

(b) He, not being the cardholder or a person authorized by him, with intent to defraud the issuer, or a person or organization providing money, goods, services or anything else of value, or any other person, signs a credit card; or

(c) He, not being the cardholder or a person authorized by him, with intent to defraud the issuer, or a person or organization providing money, goods, services or anything else of value, or any other person, forges a sales draft or cash advance/withdrawal draft, or uses a credit card number of a card of which he is not the cardholder, or utters, or attempts to employ as true, such forged draft knowing it to be forged.

(2) A person falsely makes a credit card when he makes or draws, in whole or in part, a device or instrument which purports to be the credit card of a named issuer but which is not such a credit card because the issuer did not authorize the making or drawing, or alters a credit card which was validly issued.

(3) A person falsely embosses a credit card when, without the authorization of the named issuer, he completes a credit card by adding any of the matter, other than the signature of the cardholder, which an issuer requires to appear on the credit card before it can be used by a cardholder. Conviction of credit card forgery shall be punishable as a Class 5 felony.

Establish and build credit by depositing money into a CODE Share Savings. The money stays on deposit to secure your credit line. You can use the card up to the amount deposited. As you use the card and pay it back on time each month, your credit score improves. This card is great for first-time credit borrowers, college students, teens or those that want a fresh start. Parents, this is a great way to prepare your college bound student to begin their financial independence the right way. The Secured card features:

A card security code (CSC; also known as CVC, CVV, or several other names) is a series of numbers that, in addition to the bank card number, is printed (but not embossed) on a credit or debit card. The CSC is used as a security feature for card not present transactions, where a personal identification number (PIN) cannot be manually entered by the cardholder (as they would during point-of-sale or card present transactions). It was instituted to reduce the incidence of credit card fraud. Unlike the card number, the CSC is deliberately not embossed, so that it is not read when using a mechanical credit card imprinter which will only pick up embossed numbers.

These codes are in slightly different places for different card issuers. The CSC for Visa, Mastercard, and Discover credit cards is a three-digit number on the back of the card, to the right of the signature box. The CSC for American Express is a four-digit code on the front of the card above the account number. See the figures to the right for examples.

CSC was originally developed in the UK as an eleven-character alphanumeric code by Equifax employee Michael Stone in 1995. After testing with the Littlewoods Home Shopping group and NatWest bank, the concept was adopted by the UK Association for Payment Clearing Services (APACS) and streamlined to the three-digit code known today. Mastercard started issuing CVC2 numbers in 1997 and Visa in the United States issued them by 2001. American Express started to use the CSC in 1999, in response to growing Internet transactions and card member complaints of spending interruptions when the security of a card has been brought into question.

The card security code is typically the last three or four digits printed, not embossed like the card number, on the signature strip on the back of the card. On American Express cards, however, the card security code is the four digits printed (not embossed) on the front towards the right. The card security code is not encoded on the magnetic stripe but is printed flat.

The CSC for each card (form 1 and 2) is generated by the card issuer when the card is issued. It is calculated by encrypting the bank card number and expiration date (two fields printed on the card) with encryption keys known only to the card issuer, and decimalising the result (in a similar manner to a hash function).[9][10][11]

As a security measure, merchants who require the CVV2 for "card not present" transactions are required by the card issuer not to store the CVV2 once the individual transaction is authorized.[12] This way, if a database of transactions is compromised, the CVV2 is not present and the stolen card numbers are less useful. Virtual terminals and payment gateways do not store the CVV2 code; therefore, employees and customer service representatives with access to these web-based payment interfaces, who otherwise have access to complete card numbers, expiration dates, and other information, still lack the CVV2 code.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) also prohibits the storage of CSC (and other sensitive authorisation data) post transaction authorisation. This applies globally to anyone who stores, processes or transmits card holder data.[13]Since the CSC is not contained on the magnetic stripe of the card, it is not typically included in the transaction when the card is used face to face at a merchant. However, some merchants in North America, such as Sears and Staples, require the code. For American Express cards, this has been an invariable practice (for "card not present" transactions) in European Union (EU) countries like Ireland and the United Kingdom since the start of 2005. This provides a level of protection to the bank/cardholder, in that a fraudulent merchant or employee cannot simply capture the magnetic stripe details of a card and use them later for "card not present" purchases over the phone, mail order or Internet. To do this, a merchant or its employee would also have to note the CVV2 visually and record it, which is more likely to arouse the cardholder's suspicion.

Supplying the CSC code in a transaction is intended to verify that the customer has the card in their possession. Knowledge of the code proves that the customer has seen the card, or has seen a record made by somebody who saw the card.

I see that the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card is offering 60,000 points and a 30% off coupon code after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. I have a question about the promo code. Is it only good for one ticket for one person, or can it be used on a trip where multiple people are included on the same flight? I'm planning a family trip for 7 and if I could use the promo code for all 7 tickets I would definitely sign up for this card. I've checked the offer details and it's not clear to me.

Without seeing/reading the promo myself, hard to say for sure. I would imagine if you use the code it will only work on a single transaction so you would need to buy all 7 tickets on a single reservation.

That being said, since it appears there is a 3 month spend requirement, Chase may not issue the coupon code for 3 months even if you achieve the spend in 1 month, that plus the the time to get the card could realistically equate to 4-5 months before you get your coupon? (that is a guess) I would be hesitent to plan a trip for 7 around the assumption I will have a coupon that I don't have in hand.

Hello, I got the same card in the summer of 2023. I have spent the required amount and got the 60,000 points credited to my Rapid Rewards account. However, I don't recall getting the 30% Discount code. How is that provided, and did it come with all of the rules and regulations?

To check for transactions that come in, I believe you would need to build a custom report in Analysis / Intelligence (at least this is what must be done in Concur Standard). If you have a specific transaction from a specific cardholder you want to check, you can just build the report to find that info, and list the Merchant Code alongside it. You can use these fields to pull that info:

With this info, you can filter the Default Expense Type to 'Undefined' and the report will return any Merchant Codes that do not have a Default Expense Type assigned to them. The Merchant Description field is a must, as these Undefined transactions most likely will not have any normalized vendor info.

You can export that report to Excel, examine any codes that are Undefined, view which merchants the code applies to, and decide internally if you want to map these to avoid coding errors in the future, or if not. Like Jessica said, this process may take some time, but it would definitely be worth it if you're constantly running up against this issue.

We have implemented Merchant Mapping. We ran an excel output from our credit card company that included a column for Merchant Code. Then, we sorted those and mapped each one to the most correct expense type. It was an exercise worth the few hours it took us as it saves time for our expense users.
