The security code is just the the 3-digit number on the back of your card (or 4 digit number on the front for American Express). It’s a common security measure employed by most online vendors (even Amazon.com) to prove that you actually hold the card that you are using to pay.

We are PCI certified. We also do not store this information in any permanent, or semi permanent datastore except the RAM of a single machine for the exact length of the request in which the transaction is made.

Whenever I purchase anything online with my debit or credit card, I am invariably asked for the security code. I am glad to provide it, since it means that they are checking to make sure that at the very least, the person who is making the transaction has the physical card in their possession. It doesn’t eliminate the possibility that someone may have stolen my physical card or copied the information from it, but it is one more little layer of security to protect me from having someone fraudulently use my card.
Obviously, I wouldn’t purchase something from some fly-by-night company or individual and provide my security code, but wordpress.com is not that. Given how many people purchase upgrades from them, including domain registration, I can’t see how they’d stay in business very long if they were stealing our info.
I am not sure, but you may be able to use PayPal, too.
One good thing about using your credit card is that if a product or service is not delivered, there is some recourse through your credit card company, unlike paying by check.
