Hottest thing about the UK: everyone's debit card works like a credit card online. Hot.

More creative and efficient ways to spend your money. ;)

I may be missing something...but...they work that way here too. In the US, that is. As long as they have a Visa or MC logo on them.

Most banks I've delt with in Canada require you to have a line of credit to use Visa or Mastercard. You can use it for debit/chequing but you still have to have the credit line. I just have online debit capability by default here which rules.

Surprising... an instance where we're more progressive than Canada.

Yeah, and go figure, it has to do with money.

Here you can just open a checking account at a large bank, and they give you a debit card with those logos, and they are accepted like a credit card.

Holy crap, this is the ONLY progressive thing going on here. I swear, if something happens to my family, Canada here I come. That's actually a hard promise to make because of the short growing season (I gotta grow things, you know), but you can't know how much I hate George Bush and how much I don't understand his followers and how sad I am that they are dragging down this country. I mean that with all of my heart.

And freedom, Brodie. Don't forget the freedom.

If you're feeling bored, mind digging up your terms of service for this and sending me a copy? I've heard some interesting things about liability for debit and credit cards in Europe.
