Can I use a Credit Card Processor to send data?
Can I use a Credit Card Processor to send data like when and where somebody is/was just by swiping a card with a magnetic strip through a credit card terminal. It would not charge any money just send the information that said person was at the location at that time. I know this is possible because credit card processor companies have told me it is although I have not found a company who could do this for me. It sounds so simple but who can do it?

If you called a credit card company to ask them if it is possible, why are you asking that question?
What exactly are you trying to find out or accomplish?
The way the CC companies do it is with a merchant ID. Every transaction goes through a specific merchant and that is tied to a location, so based on which machine you swipe it knows what is on the database...
