One advantage of a debit card compared to a credit cards is that with debit card you will not be heavily indebted because your purchases are directly charged to your checking account.
You will be able to tell this by the card itself. Usually debit cards have shorter versions of number and have different card color. A credit card's number is usually embossed as compared to a printed number with the debit card.
no, it is a credit card. a mastercard can be either a debit or a credit card
A debit card is a card that takes money straight out of the bank, however, a credit card lets you borrow money, but you must pay interest. So, a debit card does not build credit.
Yes, but the funds are still withdrawn from the account that the debit card it linked to ... in other words using the debit card as a credit card is still a point of sale transaction. You cannot be extended "credit" on a debit card.
No, credit cards are loans and debit cards are checks.

When you purchase with credit cards, the transaction is on credit while when you purchase with debit card, the transaction is considered cash sale because the amount is directly deducted from your bank account.
yes. just tell the redbox its a credit card, then just swipe your debit card.An Opposing Answer:A credit card is not the same as a debit card, and vice versa. If you process a debit card as a credit card when that debit card is not encoded as an alternative credit card, the transaction will fail.
A "credit" card is a credit card.A prepaid credit card (secured) is not tied to a bank account and therefore while, like a debit card, you can only spend to the amount it has been loaded with (it will not provide credit), it is not a true debit card which IS linked into a bank account.
I prefer debit card but if you like the bank giving you money then paying it back then it credit card for you . If you have debit card is like your whole bank in your wallet :)
Credit cards say "credit" And debit cards say "debit". Hope this helps!
credit card.
