The risks are not even comparable, IMO. I would rather take these conveniences because I don't think anyone would care to use that information against me if it was leaked. But many people would gladly use a credit card with PIN written on it.



An analogy does not mean it is around the level. ;D

It wasn't even the point of analogy dear. Help: the benefit/risk ratio is the point.

What you think about using information is different to what criminals think about using the information of anyone using the product. Not you is the point here, wrong orientation again. Everyone have the superfluous knicknacks, and everyone had their data leaked.

Maybe if you think you will not loose your credit card, you are much more organized for that or whatever superpower makes it so, or there will be no-one to take significant ammount from it, then please, write your PIN on the back. For you precious convenience. Better yet, have everyone's PIN written on it!! : /

Sorry for the bitter sarcasm, but I hate so much the self centered reasoning in something that is for everyone, you kind of people ruin things for all of us by allowing, even asking for fiddle-faddle tacky things, that expose all the rest to risks and dangers!
