Paying cash for tix
"nobody" wrote in message Eric Toline wrote: If your debit card has a Visa or Mastercard logo on it you can use just like a credit card. You should check with your bank about getting a debit card with a Visa or MC tie in. Visa advertises on USA TV that its Visa Check card can be use ANYWHERE the VISA logo is displayed. However, it seems that for the last couple of years, some visa issuing banks have placed restrictions on merchants' accepting foreign cards or those check cards. If you have a Visa check card and some merchant does not accept it, you should contact Visa Intl or your own credi card issuer to complain. If VISA tolerates this, then someone needs to take them to court for false advertising. Actually, a group of retailers including WalMart had a huge lawsuit against Mastercard and VISA for making them take debit cards as well as credit cards, even though the fees for debit cards with their logos were much higher. Per the terms of the settlement, retailers are in fact not required to take VISA or MC debit cards if they don't want to. |
