Everything I do is with a debit card used as a credit card. It worked in
Hawaii, Canada and for anything I have bought over the internet. It is a
MasterCard and I have no fees or charges to pay ever. Of course I better
have the money in my checking account any time I use it. Folks ask if is
debit or credit and since I will not give anyone my pin number I always say
credit. It has never been refused.
