FiPay (which is one of the pieces of software you can run with Verifone terminals) can be configured to return a credit card number back, but, it's only for legacy point of sales applications that need to have a number for whatever reason.

Even after moving everything to our Verifone vault, we still had those fields in our point of sales database, even if all of the numbers were '4111 1111 1111 1111' and the expiration dates were 2099+. We would pass the "proper" things down for the receipt as text fields (AID/TID/etc) to be printed on the receipt and stored with the transaction log.
