The part for me where it breaks down is when you have to flip the card to the back to fill in the CVC. I also hate when fields auto-tab for me. Also, why does it hide the expiration date and name fields initially?

Wait, the card actually flips? I completely didn't realize that the first time around. As for the second time around, I still don't know how to flip the card. What am I missing?

If you fill in valid data for everything on the front, a "flip the card" button appears.

You should try out the mastercard one, that one has te CCV on the back. Some others have it on the front.

EDIT: And fill out the entire front.

The flip doesn't appear to be working on Linux/Chrome. It mirrors the front side, but whatever's supposed to show up on the back never does.

Actually this was at work, where I have a version of chrome that's 6 months to a year old. Linux / most recent Chrome seem to work better.

I didn't realize it either, there was no indication that my expiration date wasn't valid.

By the way on the Mastercard on Chrome 28 on Win 7 it shows the CVC on the top left corner of the card so that the text overlaps with the border. On my Mastercard atleast the CVC is in the middle of the card.

So that when it detects which type of card it is the date and name fields can be placed where they are on that type card.

I wonder how important it is that the name and expiration date match up exactly where they do on the actual credit card. I think people are able to at least figure out where the name and expiration date on their CC is.
