I feel like a preference with this should allow us to define what constitutes
an exact match to go straight to a record:

* Exact match on card number
* Exact match on phone number
* Exact match on email
* Exact match on name
* etc.

We could then decide which ones we feel most comfortable matching on.  For me,
it would only be the barcode, because it can't be repeated in another record.
