Did any of you get the letter from your credit card company regarding PCI Compliance?
Mine said I had to do a compliance of the security of credit card info electronically at my inn.I started to do it online at the site they gave me. Came to a button that said calculate fee WHAT THE???? Fee?
Call the toll-free number and ask what this is all about. There is a $24.95 fee which is a discounted fee from the normal $139. The young man did go through a few steps with me including making a reservation with my Webervatios to see that I do not collect a cc number. He told me a web site that had the necessary form and that I wanted Type 3 (he said finding out which form was the hardest thing on that other site). I filled out the form, printed it, and sent it certified so I will have the proof the processor got it. I was notified that if I was not compliant by Nov 1 I would be penalized $19.95 per month, non-compliant fee. So now I wait to see what happens.
I do not store cc numbers electronically anywhere - period. My feeling is that if they can hack the Pentagon, they can hack a bank. My computer would be creampuff hacking so why would I put cc numbers on it? Many years ago I had a guest e-mail his cc number from Spain. I wrote that baby down and deleted that e-mail so fast it smoked!
Just curious if others got it from their processors.
