The DRM scheme saves an encoded value. I suspect that it's a one-way hash, since one of the DRM strippers for the eReader DRM, also used by the ePub DRM only needed the last 8 digits of the credit card, not the entire 16. I know that on the Nook, they only save the encrypted hash and not the name and credit card.
The credit card I use is a virtual credit card with a dollar or two credit limit. If you don't want B&N to have "your credit card", get one of those "gift" credit cards and register it at B&N.
