To do something like this, I would set up a cc database:

file cc.txt

code    type
7       american express
5       visa
3       mastercard

...and don't forget to configure the db in catalog.cfg.  Then to display 
the name for the code, you can just do this (assuming the code is stored in 
a field called cc_type in userdb)

[loop arg="[value cc_type]"][loop-data cc type][/loop]

-- or --

[data base=cc field=type key="[value cc_type]"]
