At American gas stations, if you have a Canadian credit card, you type in 00000 because Canadians don't have ZIP codes.

Are we sure they don't actually validate against a more generic postal code field? Then again some countries have letters in their postcodes (the UK comes to mind), so that might be a problem anyways.

Canada has letters in postal codes. That’s the issue the GP is referring to, since US gas stations invariably just have a simple 5 numeric digit input for “zip” code.
