Confirmation Numbers

I've been paying more bills over the internet the past year or so. Each month there are certain payments that annoy me...not because of how much they cost but because of the confirmation number provided after I make the payment. More businesses need to find out what American Express does so all my confirmation numbers are as simple as "W4528." Now...compare that with the cluster-fuck number provided by GE Credit (payin' off kid dentist) - "5642336803211-786566." Yeah, a nearly 20 digit number won't cause any problems if I ever had to call up customer support with a payment issue.
