i use my debit card...never credit.
it makes life easier for me.
when you combine the debit card with online banking, I'm actually able to see where every penny is spent. It has made bill paying seamless. I really don't know what I'd do without it.

Back in my youth I used to wonder, "Gee, I coulda swore I had Fifty bucks in my jeans...now I only have twenty...what gives?"..hehe

Anyone heard this?



Nope, not until now.....

But be happy, you may have saved a few bucks today.

I travel a lot and quite frequently I find gasoline pumps not taking credit cards due to connection problems such as phone lines, etc. And have seen it happen once in a while in grocery stores where communication is down for some reason or other....

This happened for a couple of hours a few years ago. It wasn't all transactions, but one of the largest credit card transaction processing companies' system went down, so it was pretty widespread. Didn't last long though.

LOL!

I asked because once while at 7-11, the clerk told me all the regional 7-11 credit card/check card machines were down: some kind of software or network problem.

He probably meant the CC machines were down for that chain of stores across the US.

Lord. Actually many in New Orleans seemed to have been unaware including Ray Nagin.
