I'll leave the rest to your interpretation.
I've been using Kagi for something like 8 years. Never an issue, never a
problem, never even heard of a problem. Of course it requires a credit
card, but that's ok with me.

It made it WAY to easy to buy that Compaq IPAQ 3835 yesterday, but for $349
I couldn't pass it up.

To me, a credit card is just a pre-approved check without all the ID
bullshit. They are very handy for parkades and things; it's easier than
having a car full of change. As long as you're responsible, pay it off
monthly, and never spend more than you can afford, a credit card is no worse
than any other form of tender.
Credit card companies win either way since they get a percentage every time
a vendor accepts one. It's a good scam - wish I'd invented it!

boy if that no shit!
My original point was why not get a check card that works like CC instead of
crying about not having Pay Pal as an option.

CC insurance is very handy for those internet purchases. In the UK the
CC co. are as responsible for faulty goods as the supplier. I've got my
money back through the CC co. on a couple of occasions. If i'd paid in
any other way I'd have got nothing.
I like my CC, it gives me interest free credit and free insurance cover.

If something happens with a credit card, there's time to work it out.
If something happens with one of those, you are shit out of luck until you
prove your case.
Not me, no way.
My bank sent me one and I cut it up immediately.

The Credit Card makes the use of the Credit Card mandatory!
It's a rat-race, I tell ya!

That's one solution. As most newsgroup discussions go, this one drifted to
other things...:-)

And if you are only going to use it as you've explained, a debit card does the
same thing without the POSSIBILITY that you'll have to pay interest.
You can still do it - new CC's pop up every week, seemingly.

Debit cards don't work in parking garages, on-line, etc. That's all I use my
credit card for.
The woman's works any where a VISA card will.
