compose an Email list for use by anyone other than Take A Walk
On The Wildside or for any other reason than to update you about
our special sales and events.

Cardholder Authentication :
Verified By Visa and MasterCard? SecureCode TM
The number one reason shoppers do not make purchases online is because they
have concerns about security. And the biggest frustration for Internet businesses
has been the risk of chargebacks if a shopper were to tell their issuer that
they did not authorize an internet purchase with their credit card.
Visa and Mastercard each now support a global e-commerce solution that enables
cardholders to authenticate themselves to their issuer through the use of
a unique personal code. Visa's program is known as Verified By Visa. Mastercard's
program is known as SecureCode TM. Cardholders who have a Visa or MasterCard
from by an Issuer participating in these programs will be presented an additional
window hosted by their Card Issuer. If they have already established a password
for their particular card, they will be prompted to simply enter that password
to authenticate themselves before the transaction is submitted for authorization.
If a customer holding a participating card has not yet established their password,
they will be prompted through simple steps to do so. Cardholders enjoy peace
of mind knowing that no one else has access to their password (it is not recorded
on any cardholder statements nor are they visible on the plastic).
