Can you use a debit card as a credit card on the Internet?Or are they different?

credit card
Sliceathroat asked:


I have a debit card in visa, and I want to purchase some stuff on the internet. According to the online store, they accept Visa CREDIT CARDS, yet they don’t mention anything about Visa debit cards. Could I still use debit cards as a substitute for credit cards?

    Yes, I do it all the time.

    Yes you can, the internet doesnt know the difference

    Yes, you can. A debit can be used either way providing there is money in the account. I use CREDIT all the time with mine online.

    Yep, a debit card works just like a credit card.

    Yes, if it has the Visa logo on it then you can use it just like a credit card.

    as long as there is money in your debit card you cn use it the same as visa card anywhere in world. Its brilliant. So answer is yes. Have fun spend away, just make sure you have money on card :-)

    I think there is no protection for your PIN number, do not do it.

    If it has the VISA logo than you are good to go….Yes!! it will work!!

    yes. it runs the transaction as a credit and not a debit meaning depending on your bank or account settings without the right funds your card will decline or overdraft your account. so be sure you know your balance :)

    problems are not common with visa and master cards and any financial abuse can still be tracked when using a debit card.

    Yes, the advantage with the VISA logo on your debit card is so that you can use it like a credit card. Just be sure that you don’t go over your available balance because your bank will probably charge you a NSF fee if you spend more than you have in your account.

    yeah I think you can but I have a machine here that will check it for you if you give me the credit card #, the expiration date, and the extra 3 numbers found on the back of the card I can check it out for you.
    Just kidding, but yeah you can use it exactly like a credit card as long as it has been activated already, like if you’ve used it before at least once then your good to go and will be shopping on the information super high way in no time
