since I do not shop with a debit card and the only one I have does not have a visa/mastercard logo on it, I am out of the loop on how it works now. When they first started issuing visa/debit cards they said that the beauty of it is when at a retailer you don't need to use a pin, you just swipe it like a credit card, is that still how it works??? I was also thinking some of you much younger members might be confused by my posts because now it seems like all the debit cards have a credit card logo, but for older people like me that have had them for 10 or more years when they first came out they did not look like a visa or mastercard and you could not use it at many places.

Even if they changed the pin then they could still use it as a credit card.
