No ID theft, balance in my account, why would the store refuse my debit card?! |
|
:eyes:
Time to call the bank, but there was no problem on my side.

1. Most likely a problem with their debit-card machine. |
|
That's happened to me, too. Money in the bank, card valid, but rejected. Turned out to be a problem on the store's end, not mine or the bank's.

4. I hope so - my credit card did work fine... |
|
It makes the most sense, though... I was able to buy gas and mum's candy earlier today; right before the store.
Still, it's freaky-deeky...

Yeah, it was probably a hiccup on their end... the clerk did say if the card should be swiped again. Very apathetic, so I should have noticed and thought "Must be a normal thing for them". :)

7. Probably not, or maybe, but I didn't ask... |
|
I just wanted to get home and check my account.
Which is fine, though the overdraft protection changes I'd made at the bank a week ago haven't shown up yet. (A call tomorrow I shall make.)

8. Good point, my total was $10.64 ($9.99 plus tax). |
|
For debit cards.
Real credit cards are a different gig...
And knowing it's a visa debit card, I know why some places refuse to take them at all (surcharges made by the bank or visa or somebody... I'd presume visa since those places do take mastercard debit cards...)
