[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Topher: [qb] As I understand it, in the US and the EU there's something called a check (sic) card which is tied into a chequing account and can also be used as a credit card. We don't have that in Canada. At least, that's what my bank told me when I inquired about one. Also, when a travelling yank was into my work, they paid with a check card but the debit machine didn't recognize it as a debit card and put it through as a credit card. [/qb][/QUOTE]That is basically it. I have a check card (not sure the technical term) which acts as either a credit card (Mastercard), which requires a signature, or debit card (Pulse, Cirrus), which requires a pin number. Whatever the case may be, it only works as a credit card with what money you have in your checking account at that time, or however long it takes to process the purchase (roughly 24hrs), and is not the 'free-money-plus-interest' card like a true credit card buys you (up until you get the bill at the end of the month). All I know is that it is damn convenient (especially at gas stations), most of the time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
