Hmmm, just about every online purchase I've made in the last 6 months or
so has asked me for that code....
look at it this way. The code is physically printed on your card. If
someone steals your credit card number they still don't have the extra
code. So you are protecting yourself by using that code. It verifies to
the sellar that you are in possesion of the actual card, not just the
account number.
Another way to protect yourself is to get a limited use credit card. One
that has a VERY small available balance. One that is not tied to your
regular bank etc. Use that only for online purchases. If someone violates
your privacy and gets the card number, the most you could be financially
hurt is greatly lessened. And of course, the Credit card companies do
offer some protection after the fact as well.

The purpose of that code is to _help_ ensure you physically own the card.
If you're in a restaurant, and you hand the guy the card and you sign the
slip, you pretty much HAVE it in your physical posession now, don't you?
