I remember being annoyed with this when I first got my nook.
I have also never had any issues with security with them, but it is annoying for people who don't want to have a card attached.

It's not just a card, it's a currently valid card. If it's expired, you have to update it before they'll let you get a free e-book. I ran into that once, and it was really annoying.

Yes they do, but the really odd thing is I didn't have to update the info for the DRM stripping plugin. The DRM only uses the card number, NOT the expiration date. So why they're that anal about it is beyond me.
