Best Answer

TO run your credit means to do a credit check that includes reports from all or any of the three Credit Reporting Bureaus Equifax Experien and Transunion, also a chexsystems (yes or no) decision sometimes... These reports would contain all delinquencies in the past five years including reports on all accounts(credit and checking) closed for cause.

What companies will approve you for credit using your tax identification number only?

I am guessing you mean approve you so you can receive credit from their business. The answer is no businesses. The business you have a Tax ID for is just an result of your own personal credit. They need to know everything about your own credit history to grant you credit. To do this they will need your credit references and/or your social security number to run a credit check and make sure your credit is A-Number One.

Can you use a debit card as a credit card?

Yes. You can use your debit card as a credit card. When you run it as a credit you will almost always have to sign for your purchase, but when you run it as a debit you use your PIN number. With the debit the amount is deducted immediately from your bank balance, ran as a credit it doesn't show up until the next business day or two later. It doesn't have anything to do with 'your credit'. Just another way merchants can run your card. Usually how to run it as credit is on the pad where you swiped your card instead of entering your pin you hit cancel and that will run your card as credit. It still isn't necessarily a credit card as you cant accrue debt on a debit card.

What does it mean when a credit card machine says unauthorized card?

From my experience (being a cashier), you only see "unathorized card" if you try to run a credit only card (such as American Express) as a debit. I've seen a few unemployment cards display an "unathorized card" message whenever someone tried to run it as a "credit" instead of "debit". It could mean something else entirely, however, as MOST unemployment cards will run as credit, even though the rules say you MUST run it as debit.
