As I understand what you are saying there is that you want to have the
credit card number become a part of userdb.
That's downright scary! When someone does break into your system and steals
userdb, they have everything at hand to impersonate anyone on your list,
including spoofing the address verification system and to buy anything that
they want.
That happened to Egghead. As I recall, there was a bank not too long ago
that had their database compromised.
Amazon.com is storing CC#'s in their database, and it scares the bejeepers
out of me!
