I wrote code for this ten or so years ago. I don't say that to brag, but to express my annoyance at every credit card form I encounter on the internet. Why do you ask me for my number and what type of card I've got?
- elliottcarlson 16y agoCame here to say the same thing - wrote a validator in Pascal at least 15 years ago - why this isn't more automated these days is ridiculous.
- dminor 16y agoWell, people are conditioned to expect it now, so taking it out could potentially have adverse effects. Might make an interesting A/B test.

- eru 16y agoHow about just putting the form for the number first, and the let the drop-down menu for the type of card automatically select the right type---while still allowing user interaction.
- dlsspy 16y agoThe worst ones do half of each -- they tell you that you entered a Visa and didn't press the Visa button and ask you to go back and press the Visa button. Thanks.
