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.

Is it legal for a restaurant to charge a 50 cent surcharge for using a credit card?

Quite a few restaurants charge a minimal fee for CC use. It isn't a matter of "legality". Just the way a place chooses to offset the accounting expenses. No it is not legal to surcharge 50 cents or any amount on a credit card, but yes it is legal to surcharge on a debit/check/atm card any amount. A situation has been going on where people are complaining about being surcharged on there debit cards. First of all some of these people are ignorant because they do not understand the difference between a credit card and a debit card and when there card is processed as debit they get upset arguing to run there debit card as credit. There debit card will never be a credit card, the money that gets authorized for a transaction on there card is debited out of there checking or savings account. Credit obviously is the money that a financial institution is authorizing you to borrow and if you do not return that money before the billing cycle you have to pay interest. Also, there are people that ignore the rates that a restaurant pay on each credit or debit transaction and sometimes the restaurants or mom and pop stores lose when someone buys a chocolate bar or a soda using there credit or debit card. The surcharge or convenience fee that the drive throughs charge helps maintain the low prices of the food due to what the mrchant pays for credit or debit card processing. Some of these places pay up to $1,500.00 a month on credit card processing. Bottom line, yes it is legal to surcharge $.50 or more on debit/check/atm card transactions. I have paid $.99 at a taco bell and $.75 at McDonalds. $.50 is quite decent.

A debit card is just another name for a credit card?

no, a debit card is a 'bank card' or 'atm card'... it's a card that's directly related to your bank account. When you charge a purchase to your debit card, money comes directly out of your bank account, whereas a credit card is paid off in installments at your discretion with an interest rate. So you don't have to pay right away (like you do with a debit card) but it may end up costing you more in the long run.


What exactly does a visa debit card mean?

A debit card is a card from your bank, linked to your bank account. It can be used to pay for things and the money is drawn directly from your account. A Visa debit card is one with a Visa logo that can be accepted and run as a Visa credit card, but the money still comes directly from your account. It is a Debit Card on the VISA network.

Can a debit card purchase go through if you run it as credit but don't have funds on card?

No purchase can go through if you don't have funds on the card. Regardless of whether it's a credit or debit card, both have limits that mean the same thing: "You don't have funds, ya' broke toolbox, declined..." The limit for your debit card is a floor of 0, the limit of your non-existent credit card seems to be a ceiling of 0, but could be much higher if you weren't as dense as your question implies you are.


If you run out of money on your playstation network account does the charge go to your credit card?

If you've added a credit card, in the case of a purchase that exceeds the funds in your PSN Wallet, the difference will be charged to your credit card. If you don't have a credit card associated with the account, then you will simply be unable to complete the transaction.
