  1. NO.

    They is no way to handle that and no way to prove you are the actual cardholder.


  2. no...and stop trying to use someone else's credit card number to buy your gas!

  3. no

  4. No.  There's no option on the software for that.

  5. no, that sounds like identity theft

  6. The rules for credit cards are pretty simple - there are two ways for the merchant to process the card:

    - customer present; or

    - customer not present.

    So if they were to put it through as "customer not present" then they wouldn't need your card - just the number.  However, a gas station would not be expected to sell things to people who are not there (like over the phone or something) so they would be very unlikely to agree to this.

  7. nope you can because they have to electronically swipe it to make the purchase complete.  

  8. Absolutely not!!  No one will let you use a credit card number to purchase something.  A lot of people who do that are called identify thieves.

  9. No, you have to swipe the card first.

  10. No, because if I knew your credit card number but didn't have the card, I just could enter your number and you'd pay for my gas.

    Hey, thanks for the free gas!


  11. Of course not.

  12. Uhhh then what would you swipe?? Definately NO.
