I have no idea how you come up with this stuff, but the type of card,
not to mention who issued it, is built into the number range itself.

Steven is correct. . . .
While your story is lovely, the spectre Stephen raised was about
gift cards, not debit cards generally. The Visa list posted by the
OP has an identifiable range for gift cars.
