The term credit comes from the Latin credere/credit meaning "to trust or believe"/"he trusts or believes" via the French credit and the Italian credito. Credit is abbreviated to Cr (for creditor).

Has anyone received their tax rebate early than it was scheduled?
Yes!! if you filed your taxes and will be receiving a refund via your checking account you will receive your stimulus check early...I did.
Why do debit cards do not have details embossed in it like that of credit cards?
because a debit card transaction is via online transaction only, whilst a credit card transaction can support the traditional way of using the zip-zap machine. This is proven useful when you use the credit card in foreign countries where their ICT infrastructure is unstable or none at all. By this virtue, we can conclude that credit card supports online / offline transactions and debit card only supports online transactions.
Should I provide my checking account information to qualify for a new credit card?
In the age of identity theft, it is hard to tell what you should give to a credit card company and what you should not. If you don't feel comfortable giving the credit card company your checking account information, then you shouldn't. Most credit card companies base your approval on a credit card via your credit score. If the company seems fishy or pushy about getting your checking account information, then you should tell them politely that you aren't interested and try going with a brand of credt card that you know and trust.
