I have a question regarding credit card security.

Is the amex credit card useless without knowing the 4 digit CVV code?
Is there any online e-tailers websites that support buying stuff without amex CVV? Or Amex already taken stringent requirement on CVV?

I'm asking this cos banks send letters to our house, with credit card number written on it. safe?

I know that number.
I just want to know what can we do WITHOUT the CVV code.

Example, everyone know your name, amex credit card number and expiry date, but don't know the CVV code. Is it dangerous?

Besides that, since there's no PIN / TAC request for transaction, i think AMEX security is lousy, easier to hack and get scam. What do you think?
