Here's a sequence of events:

You take a blank white plastic card and make it up to look like an American Express card. You encode account details for your (legitimate) account onto that card. You use that card to buy a new TV.

Is this card a 'credit card' within the definition used by the Florida criminal statutes? No. It was not issued to you by American Express. You made it yourself.

Does it look like a 'credit card' though? It must do, because you convinced a store clerk to accept it as such. It's a facsimile of a credit card.

It's therefore a 'counterfeit card' under FL law. Your TV was more than $300. You are guilty of grand larceny.
