It is actually against VISA/MC regulations to save this field to a database; The idea is that the cardholder must have physical access to the card to be able to read this number.

 

It's a weird rule, and stupid, because if you know what your doing you would copy the _entire_ number off of a card, but it's to prevent simple fraud (like if your credit card database gets stolen ... no stored CVV, get it?)

 

I'm not sure if this is what is happening with you, but I'd assume so.
