The discussion centers around a security warning encountered when attempting to access the Domino's website, specifically the "NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID" error. Users express confusion over the error despite the website using HTTPS, suggesting potential issues with the browser, network, or a temporary problem with Domino's. Some participants note that they have experienced similar errors on various sites, often linked to unreliable internet connections. Concerns are raised about the security practices of companies like Domino's, with suggestions that they may not have the budget or expertise to implement all necessary security measures. Participants recommend using payment services like PayPal, Google Pay, or Amazon Pay to minimize the risk of credit card theft, as these services are believed to have better security protocols and fraud detection capabilities. The conversation also touches on the liability protections offered by credit cards, which limit consumer losses in cases of fraud. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of using secure payment methods and being cautious when providing credit card information online.

I will repeat, Paypal REFUNDED ME $300 when a software seller sent a product that could not be unlocked. It doesn't get much better than that.
To me it is significantly better for the money to never leave my checking account in the first place.

How long did it take to get the money back?

The point is, that Domino's is going to STORE your card info and the possibility of it getting stolen from a company like Domino's is, in my estimation, astronomically higher than that it would be stolen from Google. So just use a payment service if you can and your CC info won't be scattered all around the world.
After the initial transaction confirms that a credit card is good, the company stores a token issued by the bank which they can then use to authorize future charges to that account. They no longer need your original CC info to do so.

Companies generally don't store your CC info precisely because doing so is a security risk. A hacker that breaks into Domino's system isn't going to get your full credit card number, expiration date, and CVV number. They might get the expiration date and the last four digits of the account number.
