I suppose this should be some kind of HMAC to be even remotely useful.
That way a simple database leak would not lead to an epic fail.
Just doing MD5 is incredibly stupid. Credit cards are mostly 16 digits,
and as mentionned previously, have predictible first digits. Moreover,
you can remove one thanks to luhn algorithm. Even with no knowledge of
the first digits, you have a 10^15 keyspace. Oclhashcat + hd5970 =
4.4*10^9 tests/s, which means 63 hours of cracking (for a single hash).
Of course this is way easier if you know the possible first digits.
(and PCI-DSS is not directly about making you secure)
