I'm betting your bet is right. When you set up your persona/nym for use with
the CheckFree wallet, the software does ask for those four, non-embossed
numbers on the Amex card - which I had never really noticed 'til then. And I
frequently pass the amex number on the phone for business stuff.
Just last week, I had flowers sent to some partners of ours that we had just
completed a deal with (sorry...should have odered them over the net), and the 4
"flat" numbers were not required.
Hmmmm ....
