I'm not sure how their credit card processor works, but if I have a large charge, Risk Management will contact me to ask if it was previous customer, ask for proof that it was a previous customer and contact the customer to be sure the charge is authorized.

A copy of the front and back of the credit card is not sufficient proof the charge is legitimate according to my processor and there are some card association rules about disposing of the information, just like how you can't keep a copy of the CVV code in your files.
