This is largely true. Unfortunately banks who issued my MC/Visa do not use the above guidelines, and therefore we get rejected on transactions.
Amex kept getting rejected for no reason as well.
Also, interesting to note that the Indian Railways website definitely requires the criteria quoted by rsh913.
