retained

that is an instruction to sales person /cashier (undertaking an operation with the credit card) to take the card from the customer and not to return it back to him/her. It is a security measure implemented by banks and Visa/Mastercard.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Inge Luus : If it is an instruction to a sales person, use "retain".
