This is used for credit card numbers that do not match the Modulus 10
validation formula, and that do not have a predictable number pattern.
COMMIDEA uses a large database to verify the validity of such credit card

swiped and validated by the COMMIDEA server, the resulting card type in
sent back to the workstation for this info to be printed on the EFT coupon.

However, all cards processed through this media type will appear under
the same form of payment in the Report Center module. You can still create
other media types to distinguish between common payments with fixed number
patterns in the reports, and use this generic media type for other seldom
used cards with hard to predict number patterns.
