Discover requires 4 digits #136

Why does it take four digits to show discover 6011, shouldn't it be possible to know that it is discover with 60 alone.

Officially, 6011 is the BIN number assigned to Discover. While I could discover Discover (heh, see what I did there?) with 60 alone, the chance of me also accidentally matching another provider and potentially limiting input in a way that could prevent a sale from completing is high.

Long story short, it's really easy for you to make this change on a one-off basis by modifying the card product matchers, but I'm not willing to force everyone into it, on the off chance that it might cause problems for customers.
