For instance -- Southwest Airlines runs a complete online setup, you can use the Virtual Visa to buy a ticket from them. America West, on the other hand, runs a batch system, and will deny the VV every time. Southwest also has swipe terminals on every one of their ticket agent computers I've ever seen, so they can process the Electron card. America West, in some locations, manually types in the card number, so the Electron card fails when they try to process it.
