That's nice. Without the three digit code, my credit card terminal will not
process a charge. Being able to provide the code (the person who wants the
repair done) proves that he really has the card and is not committing credit
card fraud. Don't provide the code and the charge doesn't go through,
repair doesn't get done, etc.
