Are card numbers perfectly random? I mean, excluding the industry/company identifier and the check digit?

Whoops, it seems I kept editing without seeing your reply. Sorry, bad habit of mine. I don't know how random the customer-portion is, but I assume/hope it is. I put some napkin-math in, but AFACT javawizard's right about the basic issue.
It might be a different story if the system required users to also enter in data like the exact customer first/last name.

There's a way to generate subsequent AMEX Card numbers once the card is deactivated[0]
