a "debit card" is a card which uses money in YOUR bank account.

7. No, a debit card is simply a card that draws on pre-existing funds

instead of a line of credit.

A Visa gift card is a debit card.

For instance, a Simon Malls gift card is, in fact a debit card (and is labeled as such. I received one of these as a bonus when I moved into my new apartment. It's a debit card, but does not in any way link to my bank account.

3. Are they giving the people money? Are they setting up a fund at a bank

for the victims? How will this work? Did they say?

4. Does that mean they will have to earn it back?

Will they owe their souls to the company sto'?

[Oreo]

5. Are they going to get a credit check first?

6. MBNA is giving folks higher credit lines and a 2 month grace period on

payments.
