To play devil's advocate, it may be useful to know when the card expires for a merchant who mightn't charge immediately. And maybe it's significant that the cvv is on the back so you couldn't just use a photo. And mixing letters and numbers is scary. But I agree. Maybe the solution is just having lots of entropy and reading it electronically, who really needs to read out card numbers over the phone?

Let the server handle the case where the card expires tomorrow. I agree the CVV should be on the back, so just take the 3 numbers off the front and put them on the back.
