Correct me if I am wrong.... but the machine that captures the card infos
will store the credit card number, card holder name and expiry date. It
doesnt matter if they swipe it once.

Some of us when we use our cards at the petrol stations, we leave the
receipt there at the pump. The receipt contains all infos needed to execute
an online transactions.
