We have some instances where we have a need for 'subscription' type payments - mostly monthly charges for web hosting for clients. Our main need, however, is for periodic payments for services. For example, someone purchases one year of advertising and the salesperson agrees to allow them to pay quarterly. The only way this is convenient for either us or the customer is to take a CC number. So then we're tasked with how/where this CC number is stored. I've instructed sales to keep CC numbers out of all computer records, as our sales applications reside on systems reachable from the net for telecommuting purposes. But I've found CC numbers in _plain_text_ within notes fields of our contact management application.
