While I do not want to name names, I have worked for a very large retailer that everyone in the US would know that stored credit card information for quite a long time. They are large enough to do large chunks of their credit card processing themselves, instead of having a third party processor. They even have their own set of cards that they process themselves. It might have changed in the last few years though.<p>Either way, they did take PCI DSS seriously, and passed audits: dual control requirements for keys and all that. Still, accounting could print reports with many credit card numbers, although it was all logged and relatively well tracked.<p>I have not worked in a lot of big retailers though, but I have seen others that featured searching for a missing receipt by credit cards number, or refunds to the original CC way past the window where a processor can just reverse a charge. There&#x27;s also online retailers, that definitely remember your credit card number. So I suspect there are plenty of retailers that at least have historically kept CC numbers, whether being PCI compliant or not is another matter entirely.
