I'd like to make some purchases over the net.( chess books from amazon) Can I use a debit card to make the purchase or do I need to have a credit card?
Originally posted by arterioesMaestro is the new merged version of Mastercard and Solo and as such should be generally useable everywhere. Most internet puchasing sites take Visa, Mastercard, Switch, American Express. Some others also take visa electron, diners club etc. Easiest thing is to ask the site you wish to purchase from. I use amazon and know it to take Visa Electron which is what I have, some other sites refuse to do so.
Well its neither but it does have a Maestro and Cirrus logo.
Yes, debit cards can be used for RHp as long as they carry the Visa or Mastercard symbol.
I have a debit card (with Visa) that I use frequently. It is used identically as a credit card in every aspect, expect that the funds come out of my account instead of being charged. Used it here, on E-bay, buying at different sites, stores in several countries, you name it.
Instead of wondering who takes debit, I think the more important question would be, what type of debit card it it?
P.S. For those of you concerned about security, here's a suggestion (what I do). Open a seperate bank account and get a book of checks and a debit card. Keep a low amount of money (or only what you need) in this account and use it for all your 'don't know how secure this is' transactions. Close and re-open a different one every few months.
Those shady websites that try to "accidentally" renew my subsricption that I cancelled several times aren't very successful.
