no, not a debit card. there's a visa card you can buy at places like Walmart, costs $3 to load money onto them (or free if you load money onto it when you cash your check), use it just like a debit, but don't have to have a bank account. I use mine for online stuff, to pay bills over the phone, ect.
called cash cards or something like that. no banks involved.

Hey Zdog -- is this "Tabloid" more to your liking...................believe it now ???

it's not that I don't believe it, I just see absolutely ZERO reason for it to make my blood boil. So the industry is saying that good customers will have to support deadbeats. I love the choice of words BTW, deadbeats. Cause it can easily be argued that the system was in dire need of fixing. There are lots of things in that bill that will help the consumer. I was so outraged when my cc companies started changing my terms. I wasn't all that up to speed on what I could and couldn't do back then, my fault, but i still paid dearly for it. My due dates went from the same time every month, which they had been for years to a 31 day, then 30 day, then 28 day, and then some were 21 day cycles that constantly revolved the due date and what used to be a same time of the month thing with a statement in hand for at least 3 weeks ahead of time, to barely getting it 2 weeks ahead of time.
The paying by phone fees, the jacked up late fees, the raising of the rates cause you got a car loan, but were never late on a payment to them in your life. Those things were getting rediculous and they are now stopped.
I guess CC companies will have to be a bit more discriminate about who they'll give cards too, rather than passing them out like candy to anyone and everyone and encouraging them to charge like mad, then change the rates to rape them for the rest of their lives. I know the whole credit system costs money, so tell me, how did it feel to be a freeloader off the backs of deadbeats for so many years?? Somebody had to support the system and if you never paid anything, i guess that is a freeloader, now I guess you'll have to pay your own way. I'm all for it. My blood isn't boiling, I think its about time.

Uberland, what you are buying at Walmart, IS a Visa Debit card, Walmart is just acting like a bank for you, for a fee. Any account you have to put money in, before you take it out, is a cash account since you only have credit when you borrow something.

yes, I know they take a small fee, but don't you wonder why the majority of people are paying in the teens or 20+% on balances?? because those small transaction fees dont' cover jack but the hardware to make those transactions, they make their money in other ways.
