American Express® cardholders:
Look for the 4-digit code printed on the front of your card just above and to the right of your main credit card number. This 4-digit code is your Card Identification Number (CID). The CID is the four-digit code printed just above the Account Number.
These security codes are an important way to protect a consumer's privacy and they should only share them with reputable retailers and businesses they are personally familiar with. Sharing them with the wrong entity is another way for scammers to try to breach privacy and a person's finances.
