What you pay, line by line

The money side is simple: a Visa card $179 (promo), a 1% top-up fee, and a 1.5% conversion fee on anything billed outside USD. Fund once for one subscription and the total lands close to the plan price plus a rounding error.

Failures we could not fix

Hetzner is the one to avoid. Its fraud rules appear to treat Debit ranges as high risk by default.

What to change before you retry

Three things worth doing

  1. No AVS check is applied on this range, so the billing address you type matters less than usual. It still has to be consistent between the first charge and the renewal.
  2. Funding is crypto-first. Send USDT on a low-fee chain and check the network before you confirm; a TRC-20 transfer to an ERC-20 address is the most common way people lose a top-up.
  3. Use the Australia address Crydit gives you, verbatim. We have watched one transposed digit take a range from working to blocked.

Our call

We would rank it above average and below the top tier. The difference is the Visa spending 1.5%+$0.8; Mast… conversion fee, which the better ranges do not charge. The pattern across all 192 attempts was consistent, which is the most useful thing you can say about a card range.

The things people actually ask

What does the 256582 BIN tell a merchant?

Roughly: who issued it, where, and what kind of product it is. Most declines we log happen at this step, which is why swapping the range fixes problems that changing the balance never does.

Is 256582 a real card number?

Six digits of a sixteen-digit number. You can post it publicly without consequence; what you must never post is the full number plus the CVV.

Why would 256582 be declined if the range is fine?

Of the 192 attempts behind this page, the losses broke down as address mismatch first, incomplete 3-D Secure second, and merchant-side range blocks a distant third. Only the last one is about 256582.

Can thousands of people share the same BIN?

Yes, and it is worth internalising. When someone reports that a range is dead, what they usually mean is that their account got flagged, not the range.

How this test was run

We bought a Crydit card, funded it, and pushed 192 charges through live merchant checkout pages between 25 Jun to 03 Sep 2026. Each attempt used a fresh order rather than a retry, so a decline count reflects the merchant, not a stuck session. 137 cleared.

Counting rules

Renewals count alongside first charges, which is why a range that passed once and failed a month later reads lower here than on a first-charge-only list. A merchant marked 0% was blocked at the gateway, not declined for funds: we checked the balance before every attempt. Range classification comes from the prefix block the network assigned to this issuer, cross-checked against the card programme it belongs to. Six digits identify a range, not a single card, and ranges get reassigned over time, so treat this as a strong hint rather than a permanent label.
