the same credit card and applicable information. If the
credit card expiration date has expired, we will need a current expiration date.
If the customer wishes to use a different credit card, we need to know the
numbers and the expiration date for the new card you wish us to use.
Such records are maintained in metal confidential files for safety purposes.
