Obtaining card type from a CIM payment profile

[PatCowgill]

We are a software developer with an interface to Authorize.net's API for storing card data using Customer Information Manager and issuing transactions based on the saved payment profiles.
A number of our clients separate credit card transactions by card type. To do this we need to know the card type for a payment profile saved in CIM. This information does not appear to be in your CIM documentation. Are there any plans for returning this data?

I don't know if this will help, but after you have submitted a transaction, you can use the Transaction Detail API to fetch the card type used in the transaction (field ACCOUNT_TYPE).   I have not tested whether this also works with CIM as well.

This suggestion is now in production.  Thanks for your input.
