When I received my debt card (visa), the bank teller told me that if I
wanted the same protection that came with "Visa" then when I purchased
anything with it, when the cashier ask "Credit or Debt" always tell them
Credit. That way it goes through visa, and then visa charges your account.
You have to sign a piece of paper rather then punch in your pin but hey, if
its protected then its worth it.

No. I'm not getting one.
Besides, I have VERY pretty checks. Nice wildflowers printed on recycled
paper. ;-)
