Why is the site telling me that my credit card number does not match my billing address?
Our credit card security software prevents placing an order if the address that the issuing bank of your credit card has on file does not match what is entered into the "bill to" information on the site. Please note that you must enter the correct 3- or 4-digit security code number located near the signature strip on the back of your credit card. Understand that this type of security is provided for your protection. Please check with your bank to ensure that the information that they have on file for you is up to date.
