A Card Identification Number (also known as a Security Code) is added protection against credit card fraud. It is a 3-4 digit number appearing on the front or back of your credit card. This number is not your PIN. In order for Body Central to accept your credit card number as payment for merchandise, you must provide the 3- or 4-digit Card ID Number that is printed on your card. We do not store your security code after verifying your credit card. Note: We MUST have your Card Identification Number. If you do not provide your Credit Card Account Number, Expiration Date, and Card ID Number, we CANNOT process your payment and your merchandise WILL NOT SHIP. Please refer to the photos in the link to locate your Card ID#. To locate your CID number, click here.
