  34 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_number#Prefixes
  35 As of November 8, 2004, MasterCard and Diner's club formed an alliance.
  36 Cards issued in Canada and the USA start with 55 and are treated as
  37 MasterCards worldwide. International cards use the 36 prefix and are
  38 treated as mastercards in Canada and the US, but are treated as Diner's
  39 Club cards elsewhere. Diner's club international's website makes no
  40 reference to old 38 prefix numbers, and they can be presumed reissued under
  41 the 55 or 36 BIN prefix.
  42
  43 Effective October 1, 2006, the Discover Network will activate new Issuer
  44 Identification Numbers (IINs) to support a variety of card types and
  45 products. Additionally, Discover and China Union Pay (CUP) have
  46 established a strategic alliance and reciprocity agreement. As a result,
  47 IIN ranges from CUP will be enabled to facilitate the acceptance of CUP
  48 credit Cards on the Discover Network by October 1, 2006. CUP credit
  49 cards will be enabled on Discover Network with a 16-digit Card Number
  50 only. The updated IIN table is shown below.
