XL only uses 15 digits of precision.
Since card numbers are not used in calculations, you can make them "text",
and then you can enter as many digits as you need.
You can format the cells as Text *before* you enter the digits,
OR
You can prefix every entry of the numbers with an apostrophe ('), '1234 ,,,
which will not be displayed in the cell, but can be seen in the formula bar.
