MY boss is away on holiday and he has written his card details down for me to renew one of our software licences but hasn't put the type of card it is.

Card begins with 4211 and is a MBNA business card if that helps.

Had a look on the mbna website and there are pictures of cards with VISA on them and also Mastercard so unsure which box to tick!!

Thanks for any help.

Is it for use on the net?

lol, just select visa, if it comes back and says no then select mastercard. Easy.

Yeah he said only a handful of people in Australia have them.

He's been with Amex for years and years though, and does make quite a lot of money etc. so I guess that's why!

I bet he's well gutted that I have a Blockbuster Video card and he doesn't, though!
