You're right, but in the wrong direction. Major card shops will have varying prices based on BIN. standard/classic/gold/platinum/premium/world level cards all go for different amounts based on issuing credit provider. You pay more for the billing phone number associated with it. $9-$25 each and depending on provider you get discounts based on number of pieces purchased at once & possibly historical spend.
