You can dispute a debit card same as credit. Some A-hole got my card numbers and shipped $1200.00 bucks off to Lebanon via western union. I disputed it and got it back. If it has a Visa symbol on it it works the same way. The only drawback is the money does come right out of your account.
exactly.
The only time it would be different is if you just have a 'debit' card that isn't backed by Visa or MC. But really, who has that? Thats almost as archaic as writing checks and faxing things.
