I got my new debit card, yay!

[Joe]

I forgot this was topic worthy until Newby reminded me. Thanks Newby!

Last Thurdsay I got a debit card, a Wells Fargo Gold card! Yay!

I can withdraw $300 a day from an ATM, and spend $1000 a day.

I can spend MAX_AMOUNT_IN_BANK, but I can only withdraw $40 from a machine per day.  :P

I use it at school, work and at restaurants that I trust, but nowhere else.

About the only place I use my debit card is at the ATM. I hate using it to purchase stuff. I just withdraw money and have my mom buy stuff on the internet.

Sad, because she uses Windows, and there's a good chance a key logger will get installed and it'll eventually steal her password long before any site does. :(

My school doesn't take credit or debit. The concession stands (yes, plural, I work at a big place) at work accept them though, so that in combination with the employee discount equals pwn. So far I've used it at work, Walmart, and McDonalds. :)

I don't see any reason to use an ATM except for depositing, and I don't even know if they support that anymore (they used to, but it was always out of order, 24/7/365).

Also, Windows is relatively safe, if you know what you're doing. The fact is, though, that nearly everyone doesn't.

Joe, size doesn't matter at all when it comes to how many concession stands there are.  If there's only 1 concession stand, the park sucks.  It's a law.

Yes, I know, but reguardless I work at a HUGE place. We have four waterparks and a lake, plus like three hotel complexes. :)

YOU'RE NOT CANADIAN.  That's not even an acceptable spelling of regardless in any form of English.

In Canada, every store has debit (we call it 'interac') and everybody uses debit for everything, almost.  It's very, very common here.  Sounds funny for you Americanians who don't have debit.

We do have it.  Joe just sucks at accepting social standards.

[Chavo]

and at making originally titled topics  :P

No, when I vacationed there last month maybe half the places I went to supported Debit, compared to here where they support it everywhere

I heard that you guys don't use checks any more? Is this true?

You were in the midwest.  Coastal states, particularly in (sub)urban areas support debit (everywhere I've been to in Philly/NJ/NYC accepted debit).
