Is this correct? the API cannot retrieve credit card payment transaction ID unless the gift was entered via WebView?

After looking at a number of discussions regarding retrieving credit card information I found one statement that may be key to why we cannot retrieve any other information than “Payment Type” for credit card gifts, even though the API Gift Entity describes a number of other items that can be retrieved for credit cards in the Payment Entity. It sounds like the “Payment” output for “Get Gift” only supplies additional information for Credit Cards if the gift is a Webview Gift. So if gifts came in via Online Express or EFT, the API will show none of the other detail (token, transaction id) using this call. Is this correct?

We would like to display credit card type in a report. The only way we can do this is via transaction id and find the transaction in the BBMS Endpoints, since the API does not supply that information. I would love to be wrong about this. Thanks!
