Deleting Stored Credit Card Numbers
Answered
How do we delete stored credit card numbers out of the system? We don't wish to store them in the system to begin with, and are concerned that there is no way to remove them.
There is no way to delete the card info.
If you use Global Payments (Open Edge) as your merchant credit card processing through IO, you can recharge a customer's credit card. A whole credit card number is not saved, but Global Payments does save a "token" so that a card can be recharged or credited as well.

I understand why the option is there that wasn't my question. We don't recharge customers cards, and we never will. It doesn't seem like a great idea to keep this data in our system *forever*. There are policies in PCI compliance that this would violate, making every IO user that uses Global Payments out of compliance automatically. This should be an option.

The Tokens are only good for so long, let's say you have a token and try to recharge the same card 6 months later, that token may have already expired with Global and it won't go through. So even when the CC information is saved this does not mean that it will work due to the token expiring. I hope this helps.
