The first few digits of card numbers refer to the provider (Visa, Amex, etc) [0]. Given that Paypal gave the last four digits of the card, I'm surprised they wouldn't give out the provider as well, so guessing this would be even easier.

It wasn't the first 2 digits that were guessed, it was the 2 digits prior to the final 4.
