I originally posted this piece on November 21, 2013. It was the trickiest legislative move ever accomplished in the Congress. Obamacare was signed into law in March 2010. If you recall, Nancy Pelosiâs Democratic majority in the House of Representatives was unable to pass their version of a healthcare law.
There are two different types of American Express cards. There are American Express charge cards and American Express credit cards. The charge card gives you an unsecured line of credit that you must pay off in full every month and requires an annual membership fee of $50.
All American Express cards, technically, are T&E cards, and have become such a large category, and so specialized, that they have their own second digit: 7. All American Express cards begin with '37,' followed by currency indicator (digits 3, 4), account number (digits 5-11), card number within account (digits 12-14), and check digit (digit 15). The difference in length stems from the fact that Visa, MC and Discover PANs have to reference bank number, whereas American Expresses just list account number. Bank numbers have a specific format, much like PAN formatting, with its own rules and standards (another answer entirely).
