Hmmmmm.... I've not actually tried that through our PDQ terminal, but
frankly I'd be very surprised if this is the case; AFAIK, the expiry
date
isn't JUST an expiry for the card, it also acts as a check number
against
the validity of the card number (ie: if card number and expiry date
don't
tally with the records, the transaction is rejected as either wrong or
dodgy.....).
