The anatomy of a credit card form

For postal codes, they're even doing the right thing for the wrong reason. They believe they're only going to encounter US or Canadian postal codes. Billing addresses can be anywhere, of course.

This comes up all the time. Moderately annoying situation if you ever drive in the US with a foreign payment card. The gas pumps use some "ZipSecure" thing that requires you to enter your zip code to authorize a credit card payment at the pump.

... Except I don't have a zip code. Which usually meant I either had to prepay inside (and then go back inside to receive the remaining balance as cash) or leave my credit card unattended with the clerk while I filled.

This is indeed annoying. I've found that entering 00000 as the zip for a foreign card quite often works (though not 100% of the time).
