So many businesses/services online use debit now. Would it be an issue for this site because of the age thing ? I think not. This site can protect itself against that as easily as it can make debit purchases readily available for its paying loyal customers
What do you think ??? Quote

Believe you call that a credit card friend. A debit card is direct access to your bank account. Money you actually have to show for !!! Quote

Yes, I use a debit card issued by my bank it draws directly from my checking acct. It also has a visa sicker in front so I can use it as a cc but it works the same way-drawing the money directly out of my checking acct. You Canucks, you got the health care but somehow the banking system....LOL Quote

It's actually a Debit-Credit Card. BOTH ways of using the card, take the money out of your account, in real time. At least, that is how both of mine work. I have also had a debit card in the past, also known as a check card. And I also have a regular credit card. The good thing about a Debit-Credit Car, is that they help to boost your credit score.

Well if you can tell your dumbass American VS how to take money out of my Canadian account and offer me that option we wouldn't have to worry about your country and it's financial crisis and economic crash which we never had to go through up north here !!! Quote

Um before you give a smartass comment I think you need to learn what you are talking about. My bank issued me a "debit card" With the banks logo on it. As well as a mastercard logo. This "debit card" takes money directly out of my checking account. If I have no money in my bank account I get no credits at all. I do not pay off a monthly statement. This makes the card that I own and buy my credits with a "DEBIT CARD" Not a credit card.
If you have a debit card with a Mastercard or Visa logo on it you can use it anywhere a credit card is accepted. The only difference is you don't carry a line of credit. You take it right from your bank account.
Quite honestly in the 8 years and 3 banks I have owned a debit card. I have never had one without a visa or mastercard logo on it. But this doesn't make me tell you that you don't own a debit card and try to claim its only an ATM card. Different banks issue different cards...
So in closing. F4F accepts any debit card with a mastercard or visa logo on it. If you don't have one with this logo on it. Talk with your bank. Just because if has a mastercard or visa logo on it does not make it a credit card.

All of our banks up here are affiliated with either visa or mastercard. Doesn't change the fact that a debit card is for your bank account. So what really is the purpose of the logo ? Is that a pay as you go credit card or PRE-PAID credit card ?

It isnt either. This is a debit card. The purpose of the logo is so you can easily make purchases anywhere mastercard or visa is accepted. The money comes from my bank account only. If i have no money in my account. It does not turn into a credit card to cover the missing money in my account. I can only spend what is in my bank account. And this is not a pre paid card. Although it might be more similiar to a prepaid card that u see in canada.
This is a bank issued card. bank logo, Debit Card printed right on it. And the mastercard logo on it. The number on the back of this debit card is my banks phone number.

OK ... still don't understand the logo thing on a DEBIT card but cest la vie. One's debit card should be accepted anywhere regardless of whether they accept visa, mastercard,discovery,american express or obamadolla.
Don't see an option for me to use a debit card from Canada, North America's better half
But if that prick Suggs from the UK can use a debit card heads are gonna roll
All I want is to be able to pay to play my way
God Bless

My debit card has the visa logo on it. Dont mean i could go out and purchase anything that I done have enough money in my account for.
Just means that instead of me buying some thing with money from the bank i have to pay back. My account has the funds transferred automaticly out of my account directly into flirts.
That is difference between credit and debit card. Quote

Yeah, just spoke with VS and the explanation I got explains to me why so many countries except Canada are "Fucked" when it comes to money and banking !
Thanks Suggs, all of our banks are backed as I have stated but no logo necessary. I'm kinda thinking someone must have some pretty shady banks amongst them to have to have a credit company to assure your account (earnings/monies)
From VS and I quote "It works as a credit card in the way that it doesn't get posted for 3 days, but it gets taken from your account right away... DUH
Sounds like a debit but my account shows the transaction pronto. FUCK THE LOGO !!!
FORGET I ASKED ...
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE NATION TRYING TO HOLD OTHERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN MISMANAGEMENT OF THEIR NATIONS BANKING/CREDIT SYSTEM AS IT BE.

We deal with our system the way it is, and to us the debit card that works like a VISA or MC is just a normal way of life ... be it good, bad, or otherwise.
We've got much more important crisis for our corrupt unethical politicians to deal with, being the ever popular and always critisized damned-if-you-do or damned-if-you-dont, - try Roger Clemens for perjury, the government's in charge from day 1 can't stop an oil leak, Obamaism at it's best, - world leader that we are.
BTW: In 1977, New York University gave Greenspan his PhD, without requiring a dissertation: corruption everyhere.

Some candian debit cards are different to the regular american debit/credit cards and will work differently.
