    Firewalls? What for? You are asking for a complete
    setup. That is not a question for "what firewall
    vendor do you advise".

    Ok, so I will do a part of your work:

    You have your application running on the outside.
    There you send a message to a system in a private DMZ
    which has the accounting database _without_ the credit
    card numbers. Only the amount of time/money is stored
    there. And perhaps the last/first 5 digits of the CCN
    plus the issuer and the experation date.

    If the customer wants to renew his membership you will
    only display him those digits and perhaps the issuer
    and ask him if he wants to reuse that card.

    The CCNs will _only_ be stored in your heavy secured
    internal network and while in transit on the outside
    systems after the customer has entered it and before
    the inside system has polled them.

    That is a design and not a firewall question.

    Marc
