You can buy things online using just your credit card number because of credit card validators and other computerized processes that merchants use to make sure that a credit card number is good. If you shop this way you might be surprised to find how fast and easy it and you will even find yourself some great bargains! When you shop this way you should be a wise consumer and feel comfortable with who you give out your credit card number to.
There are hundreds, probably thousands, of secure web sites out there. What that means is that the information that you give out on that web site is safe and no one else will be able to access it. This is especially important when you are giving out your credit card information. It is not hard to find a secure site, in fact many web sites adverse that they are a secure web site right on the first page. It doesn't take long to find one of these sites that are secure nor is i hard.
Be a wise consumer and only shop online if you are sure you are on a secure web site.
