If you mean the three digit nuber on the reverse side of the card, the system definitely asks for that.

I can't say I had C&B problems either but I set up my account when FFXIV was launched so the recent issues might not have been around back then. I was also unaware of any controversy about the service such as extra fees. I will need to cancel that account though but since it has been over a year since I set up the account, I will need to search back through my emails for the account username!

Direct CC payment is much easier, thanks SE!
