No additional cost!

After entering my payment info at nwa.com, I was greeted by this block of text, centered on a sea of white.

 

1) I didn't ask to be activated in Verified by Visa.

 

2) If I want my plane tickets, I can't bypass this.

 

3) I don't need yet another password to do credit card transactions with (that's what my card number and security code are for -- and if they're so vulnerable, what makes yet another code so special?)

 

4) This page feels very "phishy," looking nothing at all like the web site I was on.

 

5) I really needed the card expiration field obfuscated by bullets? My zip code?

 

The next day, I made a software purchase through kagi.com. They said that if I was in the Verified by Visa program, I might be asked for a password. I wasn't. I feel more secure already!
