Damon, Who in their right mind would give debit card information over the
phone, remember there is a PIN number that is used and that in reality is
the only protection that you have when you use your Debit Card. (This is why
it is recommended that you not write your pin number on the card, if you
lose the card you lose the Money) Peter Kowalik pe,kow@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Now that's weird....my wife and I went up to Niagara Falls on the Canadian
Side, got a hotel, ate there, used our Card there......I phoned Master Card
after realizing that they had shut us down and they said they noticed
"unusual activity" with our card.....after verifying that I was the owner of
the card they turned us back on. I guess those 22 years of never vacationing
caught up with us.
I guess American Visa has a lot more security on it than Canadian
Visa.....and no, Visa is not supported by Visa....It's a brand-name sticker
applied to various banks providing electronic money and it's that bank which
provides the verification capability....I wonder if Andrews would accept a
Debit card over a credit card??
