MC/VISA joint code

Isn't there any way to combine the blocks (4* & 5*) for MC/VISA credit cards? It's a pain to have them separate because my bank posts them together. It is the same company afterall. It would save me a lot of time adding separate entries together to reconcile the statement!

I do not know of a way to do what you are asking, but I have found that using the # symbol as follows works better than using the * symbol:

4############### 5###############

If you use the * symbol it is a wild card with no determined length. The # symbol requires that the characters after the first digit be numerical, and the quantity of the # characters indiciates the required quantity of numerical characters.

We have had cards in the past get approved when the MSR only picks up 13 or

14 characters, but it will not settle as it is an invalid card number. Don't ask me how it could get approved in the first place, but it has happened to us.
