Can i use my debit card to buy stuff online??

Question

i want to get some shoes and i don't have a credit card... only debit, can i type in the number and have it be used just like a credit card, only the money taken out of my checking????

Answer 1

only if it has dual functionality debit and credit..i'm sure you'd know when you got the card if you had it. since you don't have a credit card, just go get a pre-paid credit card like vanilla mastercard and use that for your online payment....the money will come right off the card balance so you won't get a bill

Answer 2

You probably can, as long as  (like the last person said) it has a credit option, if it does it will have a credit card logo on it (usually visa)  But i wouldn't recomend doing so, because debit cards do not have the same kind of fraud protection that credit cards do and if someone got a hold of your number (admittedly unlikely but still) then they could drain your checking account.  So yeah, I would go with a prepaid credit card, you can get one a most convenience places like CVS or Walgreens, or at your bank

Answer 7
