My hubby & son needed new shoes, so we went shopping this afternoon. There aren’t any good shoe stores locally, had to drive to “the big city” over an hour away. We found shoes for both of them and I tried to pay for them with my debit card. I KNOW I have over $250 on that card, but the store’s machine rejected the card for a purchase that was under $100. I was not pleased, but paid for it with my Discover Card.
Then we went to Circuit City, where my hubby bought something, and again I tried my debit card. Again it was rejected. I don’t understand why that happened! I told the cashier’s both times it was a debit card, but they never asked for my pin, they only told me that it was immediately rejected. Maybe they entered it as a credit card (even though I told them it was a debit) and maybe that’s the problem. I’ve never had a problem with it at Wal-Mart, they take it every time!
