Edited by: Lily Sarman on 19/09/2008 13:14:55 Anyone here who only has a debit card (I don't use credit cards) able to work out a way of paying for the cheaper second account promotion without having to use someone elses credit card? I'm with HSBC and the website doesn't seem to accept their debit cards (Maestro) as a payment method. -------------------------------------------

Some debit cards you get can be the same brand as credit cards - Like Mastercard, Visa, etc (unlike Maestro, which is some wierd sub-form of mastercard).
It would probably require you to change your account or bank, though. ------

That, uh, sounds a bit like a debit card, actually.

It IS a debit card. It can be used on most VISA POSes (more exactly: it works on any Visa Electron POS, but would not work on non-electron POS terminals). Also American Express cards are mostly debit cards (not all, but most of them are).
Technically the difference between a debit card and a credit card is that a credit card is something you payback over several months (with interest) while a debit card is either pre-payed (like those VISA cards) or payed out in full on request, generally at the end of each month (like Amex).
Most people mistake "credit card" and "debit card" as being "international POS circuit" and "local/national POS circuit" respectively. But the two concepts are actually different (except for the fact that most credit cards use an international circuit and local circuits generally only operate out of debit cards).

A simple way to **** off credit card companies. Increase your credit rating. And make your life easier all in one go.
Get a credit card and treat it like a debit card. If you don't have the cash don't use it. And always pay off the credit card on time and in full so you have don't get charged a penny.
I can honestly say in the last 20 years of having credit cards I have yet to pay one penny of interest. The choice is yours.

Appreciate we're getting off a game topic here (and I apologise) but if you really want to annoy your credit card provider, find one that gives you a percentage cash back and clear it every month

On-topic: Why not use a credit card? Easier than some complex work-around, and you get offers in the mail all the time. Failing that, GTC?
Off-topic: Card companies make a lot of their money on the purchase fee they charge the retailer, which is passed on in the sale price. I pay off my balance in full at the end of every month, but still send money their way every time I use it.

A visa Electron debit card should work.
