Yes! Yes! Yes!Yes! But there are some things you should know.
Once you activate your card, you will be given the option to upgrade the card to a VISA/MasterCard logo card. This enables you to use the card at any Debit Visa/MasterCard authorized merchant. The possibilites are endless!
Here are a few notes to consider on different types of transactions:
- Many merchants accept your Debit MasterCard as a form of payment. You also have access to online Bill Payment through your Cardholder Site.
- Restaurants automatically add 25% to your bill to cover a tip. If you do not have the total on your Card to cover the amount, you will be declined.
- Paying at the pump can be used with some limitations. You must have at least $76.00 on your Card for the transaction to be authorized. If the final amount is less than the $76.00 authorized, the difference will not be available for use until the transaction settles, which may be two to three days. If you have less than $76.00 on your Card and wish to purchase a specific amount, you must complete the transaction at the Cashier.
- Certain hotels and car rental agencies may obtain as much as a $300.00 to $500.00 preauthorization for your transaction. Up to a ten day hold may be placed on your Card in the amount of the merchant’s preauthorization request.
