What does "CW" mean on the Romney donation form?

Underneath where the form asks for your credit card number, there is a box that must be filled out. It has the letters CW on it and it is mandatory that it be filled out. I left clicked on it and a script came up that I must type in a minimum of 3 numbers. I do not believe it is the 3 numbers on the back of the credit card.

Does anyone know what "CW" stands for? I wonder how many folks did not donate because they did not know what "CW" meant. I have asked friends and family and no one has a clue and we all have graduated from or have some college.

It looks like C-V-V to me. I could be wrong.

The CVV Number ("Card Verification Value") on your credit card or debit card is a 3 digit number on VISA®, MasterCard® and Discover® branded credit and debit cards. On your American Express® branded credit or debit card it is a 4 digit numeric code.

Your CVV number can be located by looking on your credit or debit card, as illustrated in the image below:

Providing your CVV number to an online merchant proves that you actually have the physical credit or debit card - and helps to keep you safe while reducing fraud.

CVV numbers are NOT your card's secret PIN (Personal Identification Number).

You should never enter your PIN number when asked to provide your CVV. (PIN numbers allow you to use your credit or debit card at an ATM or when making an in-person purchase with your debit card or a cash advance with any credit card.)

CVV numbers are also known as CSC numbers ("Card Security Code"), as well as CVV2 numbers, which are the same as CVV numbers, except that they have been generated by a 2nd generation process that makes them harder to "guess".

Aww, Thanks everybody! When I order something on line, the seller will ask for the "3 digit number on the back of the card" No one ever called it a "card verification value!" Goodness, live and learn.
