I am integrating with BlueSnap using the Payment API and want to just validate the card without charging any amount. Does BlueSnap provide such a capability?

It seems they allow you to do a zero sum authorization, which counts as a card account validation request: http://developers.bluesnap.com/v2.0/docs/auth-only

If you wish to check the validity of a card without authorizing any charge amount, simply enter 0 as the value for the amount property in this request.

But be aware that this validation does not necessarily tell you whether you are free to use the card without the security code CVC (for card-on-file transactions for example). This might need additional checks depending on the BlueSnap implementation.
