Re: I don't think so? Legolas Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 08:00:35 PM
It's my debit card; it's issued through my checking account bank and is what I use to withdraw cash from my account at ATMs. But if I elect to use it as a "credit" card at the POS I don't use my PIN and I sign instead. And with the new regulations on overdrafts, it doesn't extend "credit" unless the consumer has specifically arranged with the bank for that to be permitted. So mine would disallow a purchase if the account didn't contain sufficient funds.

Oh. I'm not sure how using it at a PoS is "using it as a credit card", apart perhaps from the signing part (which in here is impossible with debit cards). I was thinking you meant using a credit card as a debit card, i.e. using it to pay for things electronically without ever using the "credit" part of it.

I'm so glad Visa and Mastercard are so worried about consumers, especially given THEIR tight budgets Joel - 17/12/2010 09:14:53 PM 700 Views
You do know Barney Frank (Democrat and major liberal and progressive) is against the change Roland00 - 18/12/2010 06:18:37 AM 669 Views
I didn't; guess that just means he's wrong. I fail to see how opposing this is progressive at all. Joel - 18/12/2010 12:49:36 PM 567 Views
It has nothing to do with being progressive, it has everything to do with his banker constituents. *NM* Macharius - 20/12/2010 01:30:04 PM 228 Views
I figured, but, as you say, nothing progressive in that. Joel - 20/12/2010 02:44:47 PM 540 Views

It wouldn't be nearly as effective it it were; it's quite systemic, for a reason. Joel - 20/12/2010 07:46:29 PM 594 Views
Sounds good to me, but it does seem like a natural monopoly, so that competition idea... eh. Legolas - 17/12/2010 09:37:20 PM 595 Views
