    I want to do the Pictorial Quilting course offered by Craftsy. It is $25 so I think it's a good deal.

    I am worried about giving my Visa number. Is the Craftsy site reliable/secure? Is it a good idea to give my Visa #?
    Also, I am from Canada. I am thinking that the course will cost me more in Canadian dollars. Has anyone from Canada taken a course online? How was the price affected?

    Thanks.

    There should also be a phone number there, call and give them your number over the phone.

    The payment page is secure using SSL technology. You can tell by the "https" at the beginning of the URL. There is also a "locked" icon at the right hand side of the address bar. They also take paypal.

    Former cop here, there is actually "less" security when you give a person the number. If you are at a secure site (look at the "lock" icon to the left of the web address) that is more secure and someone would have to extract data from a computer (traceable, usually) to get your info, vs. taking it down on a piece of paper. I use Lifelock. Great company.

    I've purchased 3 course from them with no problem. I feel it is as secure as possible over the internet. I will take my chances!

    We have an internet VISA. It has a small limit on it and it is not "linked" to any of our other accounts. If someone snitches or hacks it - they can't get much.

    I would not be worried at all. I have used my Visa on the site before. Also, I used PayPal, which instantly let me open the course.
