Interesting. And how would that work for non-US customers? I know that I often have to enter the address "as on my card". There is none, just my name. I have a mastercard, I live in the Netherlands (Europe). We have our own funny postal code system (as the UK, letters and numbers, but completely different again). I could try some experiments, but my guess is nothing is checked, since my card worked uninterrupted last year when I moved places and both my postal code and my street number changed. And it took my bank some 2 months to send paperwork to my new address.
