Amex Moneyback Card - First 6 Digits?

[Deleted User]

Long story, but I'm trying to work out my entire credit card number from an Amex Platinum Moneyback credit card from 2007.

I've got most of the last half, but still need the first six digits.

I think it might be 3717??, 374604, 3764??, 374691, or 374693.

Does anyone have this card and can confirm the first six digits of this type of card?

Thanks

Sorry, I can't help... but I wonder if you've tried asking Amex already?

Yeah, they weren't much help. They can identify a card type from the numbers, but not the numbers by specifying a card type.

All the ones I've mentioned above poll through as "AMERICANEXPRESS/CREDIT/PLATINUM/UNITEDKINGDOM", which is the right set of permutations though. I'm just trying to narrow it down to the Moneyback one, as opposed to standard Platinum credit cards.

Next, I'll go through my credit file to get some of the missing end digits, work out what's still missing, and write a script to use the Luhn algorithm to work out which are valid.

So they don't hold a record of old cards?

I guess they do, but it looks like after a while their system cleans up to make things easier for their agents.

After speaking to someone from customer services, they could find my current card, as well as one I closed last year. The 2007 one wasn't showing up at all, though, even by searching just my first name and surname.

I suspect they could find it somehow by having someone manually search through the archives, but would take many man-hours.
