   ... how come I can call Best Western and make a reservation on my
   Visa card, without informing them of the number?  and I haven't
   slept in a Best Western in 5 years?

And your card number hasn't changed in 5 years either??  Hmmm...

But I would be hard pressed to believe that any hotel chain large
or small ever destroys their records of people's card numbers.
I would call bullshit on BW's "response" based on that alone.
