what's a debit card? i couldn't believe when they introduced debit cards for gasoline. i ask the treasure of the company why would anyone use a debit card? it pulls money right out of your checking account vs floating the money for thirty days. I believe debit cards were big in europe and credit cards were not , so they had a lot of data on debit cards before introducing them. to my surprise.. it has been a huge success. Perhaps those who cannot qualify for a credit card get a debit card for machines where checks are not a choice? i like the quarterly return of a few hundred dollars in cash based on gross purchases. I was about to even pay my real estate tax this year on cc. the township said they accept credit cards.. then i was told 3% fee. ha
