Since I mentioned one, I feel obligated to mention another......

The payment gateway that Yahoo! Store uses, First Data Merchant Services (FDMS) Nashville Platform, now supports CID (Card Identification) codes used by American Express credit cards. Using the CID functionally give you added security and can qualify your transactions for better rates from American Express. Merchants who would like to accept American Express as a Payment Method with the CID code on their Stores will need to publish their order settings with the proper risk tool setting once this functionality has been released.
