It’s very important for internet payments. Knowing it proves you’re the owner of the card (in theory). In practice, you need to remember or store it in a secure place, and then conceal it from the card.

One way is to scratch it away. But here is a less damaging way that works pretty well from my experience: first, apply some white correction fluid; then, sketch it with a black permanent marker.

Whichever way you choose, make sure other people can’t detect it, at least with a quick look.
