What banks are the ones with MasterCard? I've had 4 banks over the last 8 years. Bank Of America, South Carolina Bank And Trust, Sun Bank, and now Wells Fargo. They are all Visa debit cards.

Heck I didn't even know anybody used a Master Card. heh-heh

But back to the topic...I've never had ANY transaction for anything "declined" with a debit card. It's my money in my bank account. I'm not sure how me spending my own money could be a "high risk" transaction. That doesn't even make sense to me in any way at all. Nobody is at "risk" for losing anything.

Of course I've had the bank call me when I've made purchases over 5 grand before to make sure it was really me using my card. But for a $29.99 sale? Never.

I was just looking at my bank statement and I'm using my debit card every month for $17,000.00 + Nothing ever "declined". Again, I would have to say I'm not sure that as long as you have money in the bank to back it up that it CAN be declined. It's your own money in your account. Not the banks, and nobody is lending it. It's yours already to spend any way you choose.

I use mine for drinks and getting cash out of the ATM at the strip clubs here in Vegas all the time. I would think if they were going to try and be "moralistic" with MY money they would try that shit one time when they see those transactions. And I say "one time" because my money would be gone from their bank the first time they tried that shit.
