I did a little more research and found that the first 6 digits of a card indicates the BIN (bank identification number) also called issuer identification number.
Those digits will tell a merchant who issued the carda and the type of card. There are several online tools for free which can tell you what a merchant will see. https://www.bindb.com/bin-database.html
I used my Chase debit card and it said Debit
Bank of america debit card and it said debit
Applied Bank credit card and it said credit
AMEX SERVE card and it said prepaid
AMEX Giftcard (the ones you can buy at rite-aid) and it said prepaid
Amex Simon mall gift card and it said Credit (Bingo)
Thanks for everyones help. My purchase went through.
