Capt. Why can't I use my debit card to renew my hunting license? I am not in state at this time, I need a hunting license to get a non resident license.

I was able to renew the reg for my car with my debit card?

Cash is cash, right? Credit is cash in waiting, which can be disputed?

I am NOT here to bust your chops!

Thanks.

It is a Visa debit card, so there is cash behind it! If I go in to buy A license in person will have to pay in cash or credit card! I doubt my cash would NOT be accepted.

BP, I am curious. I thought you were gone and never looking back. Made a big stink about never giving this state another dime. Maybe they heard you and your money is no good here????

I would need my wife to explain it since she is a credit card using expert but I believe that a bank issued VISA credit card can be used in a store as both a debit card (you swipe and enter your pin number) or as a credit card but the bank just pays the charge off like it is a debit transaction so you don't have to do anything like send in a check to pay it off but it allows the transaction to go through without entering a pin number.
When I buy on line I never enter a pin number so it is handled like a credit card. When I go to an ATM you do enter a pin number so it is a straight debit transaction. Same card, card number, security number, etc.
