  1. Jim, November 29, 2007:

    Thanks, big help when testing applications.

  2. cutie girl 400, December 27, 2007:

    what country are these numbers are in.

  3. Alan Rimm-Kaufman, December 28, 2007:

    They’re just valid CC patterns; they don’t have associated address.

    They are just for testing, and won’t (and shouldn’t) work on any real e-commerce system with real-time CC auth. These are useful for debugging carts, that’s about it.

  4. laura, December 29, 2007:

    what about a security code?

  5. laura, December 29, 2007:

    i want to use itunes without giving them my cc. i am trying to use a gift card.

  6. Neha, January 29, 2008:

    Hi

    Can I use these credit card numbers for creating test accounts .

    Best Regards

    Neha

  7. André, February 11, 2008:

    Can’t use the CC posted here. DO we have to use specific Expiration Dates and Authorization Code?

    Cheers

  8. mikel alien, March 4, 2008:

    can i use this credit number to buy goods

  9. Alan Rimm-Kaufman, March 4, 2008:

    No, you cannot.

  10. Mike Black, March 6, 2008:

    Well, i can’t test these numbers because all of them are being used! I can’t test much of anything because most have been used but for the most part. what happens if the website requires some billing information? but you weren’t aware of it? what would happen?

  11. John L. Smith, March 18, 2008:

    Ok, these numbers are for testing purposes only, they don’t have a CVV Security code, an expiration date. Although, you can calculate the expiration date using the MMYY format (search on any search engine.) You can estimate the CVV number as well.

  12. ChrisP, March 24, 2008:
