How to remove credit card info from website?

I noticed last time I ordered SimPoints that my cc number came up automatically.
I'm not very comfortable with that info being stored here.
Anybody have any idea how to go about removing that so that it will need to be manually input each time?

    I am not 100% positive but I believe if you erase your browser history (everything including form data, passwords and favorites) it should clear the data but like I said I am not 100% positive. Though I doubt you will have problems with your credit card info. You can't even make two purchases in a row without them flagging you for fraud and making the idea of processing another transaction through them a living nightmare. Then they wonder why they get voted worst company in America 2 years in a row and are well on their way to year 3.

    Under the Store menu on the top bar there's a link to "my store account" which should get you to the link for billing information. You should be able to clear the fields for credit card info and save the information (or there may be a clear option - I don't have anything saved so I'm not sure if you will get the option).

    Each time you buy simpoints, you might need to double check that box hasn't checked itself again. Once you've unchecked it on a transaction it should clear the information for future transactions.

    identity is right, I had to clear my cookies and history earlier for a totally different reason, anyways I just checked and it is blank. At least from the buy simpoints page


    I never put in anything in the billing section so Check there too

    OK, let's go with both answers... :D

    If it's coming up in the store on buy simpoints when you've said not to save and it's not in the billing section, then it is probably just the form filler on your browser. Clearing the cache, etc. should fix that.

    If it's in the billing details section, then I'm pretty sure it's stored on the site (from checking the remember my details box). Clear the billing details to remove it or uncheck the box the next time you buy simpoints.

    Clearing browser data will only delete the data saved offline on device. You have to remove credit card information from the payment settings () like amazon and other website. Click on store icon and go to billing information now clear card information and proceed to save. This will do the job
