Credit card expiration year validation is not working properly

[bsurd]

Affected versions:

• All Firefox

Affected Platforms:

• All Windows

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to 123done.
2. Sign in/up with an account.
3. Click on "Subscribe to Pro".
4. Enter any valid card number.
5. In the "Exp. date" field enter a date that is more than 4 years past the current date. (eg. 08/24)

Expected result:

An error is displayed informing the user that the expiration year is invalid.

Actual result:

No error is displayed.

Notes:

As most cards have a valid period of 4 years any date that is past that should return an error.
Currently, the error is displayed only when entering a very distant year in the future eg. xx/70

The payment provider should be determining the validity of a credit card number. As you mention, "most cards have a valid period of 4 years" -- if a card issuer decides to change their system we shouldn't need to make a change in our front-end code.

I recommend wontfix. @johngruen ?
