Re: And now the good news...sort of

I use my debit card for everything and have never had a single problem. The Mastercard or Visa logo on them protects you just as if it were a credit card. If someone had the nerve to "chew me out" for using it I would take great offense at their arrogance.

Wow, your timing was excellent! I despise debit cards. Just a personal thing. I do check my credit cards online periodically to be sure everything is ok.

My bank has been going through a lot of machinations recently-- changing user IDs, passwords, and the like. Yesterday, it was my turn 
and I changed all those things. So this morning, I logged on to see if
it all worked, which it did, only to discover that my checking account
was about $1,300 less than it should have been. When I checked the
register I discovered a pending debit of $1,300 payable to Fry's
Electronics, a subsidiary of Kroger. I called the bank; the bank said
since the charge wasn't yet posted to call Fry's. I finally connected
at Fry's with a customer service guy named Joe, who looked up the
charge. Seems someone was trying to buy a Sony computer on my dime. So
he said he would cancel the order and stop the payment collection.
Then my sister chewed me out for using a debit card for on-line
purchases. Oh well.
