what does PDQ stand for, on those credit card swiping machines?

The only thing I know PDQ stands for is "Pretty Darn Quick".

YOU don't USE that one. The merchant/restaurant does. They just SWIPE your card and enter the amount and they get an approval or denial!

Yes. The cards are just to tell you what location and precinct to vote at.

There are a few of reasons vendors ask for CC type including security.  They want to make sure you're not just pulling the number from some random piece of paper found somewhere.  I addition to that, since many vendors usually work with certain software programs that require a credit card type before the number, name, and expiration date actually appears on the screen.  My guess for that is the software needs to recognize which additional security fields will be displayed for the corresponding card type.

My iPAQ does that, are you talking about a Pocket PC or laptop or perhaps a tablet PC?\nIt is trying to figure out how much battery life is left..happens especially when you have a complete battery discharge then recharge it.

Do you have a merchant account (accepting credit cards) with PNC?  Could be setup fees for such.\nEPS = Electronic Processing Service Inc. - a large credit card transaction processing firm.\nCORPORATE ACH POS SETL = Corporate Automated Clearing House Point of Sale Settlement - again sounds like a merchant services type thing.

I think you mean MICR. MICR stands for magnetic ink character recognition. It allows the bank to read the numbers at the bottom of your check (check number, account number, routing number) using a machine.

It's the security code printed on the back of your credit card / bank card.

Asterisk.\n\nAnd don't give the points to Smiddy, he posted first but he modified his answer. :-)

You are stiffing the credit card company, not the dentist.  As soon as the credit card is swiped, the dentist is paid his or her money.  But just so you know, if you do that with no intentions of paying the bill, that is fraud and is considered the same as theft.

Heck Yeah! \nI'm a member of an elite club called "Hallmark Gold Crown Members." I frequent Hallmark stores, but only their "Fresh Ink" cards appeal to my high brow taste.

This is theorized, but not in use.  \nIt is theorized often in "end - time" scenarios of a cashless society by evangelical Christians (like myself).\n\nThe chip actually exists.  It only contains a number.  \nThat number can be used to reference a database and theoretically pull up an account from which you can spend like a credit card. \n\nSo: instead of swiping your card.  They would just scan your arm.\n\nThe chip is currently used in pet identification.  My dog has one implanted.  If she's ever lost and found, a vet can scan her id #.  This can be looked up in a computer database and my name will pop up as her owner. \n\nI don't think it will happen any time soon in humans. Too much resistance.  \n\nI also think the Mark of the Beast spoken about in Revelation is a physical mark to show identification and allegiance rather than a scar from a chip implant.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nP.S.  Yes, I forgot about that family in FL.  The company that makes these chips is trying to promote them for use in humans for medical records.  Like I said, I still think there will be too much resistance. Maybe people with severe life threatening conditions would feel safer having one, but it must reach "critical" mass for the hospitals to invest in scanners, etc. I don't think that will happen.

Whoever the card's name is in is responsible.

If they are asking for a credit card number in order to to claim "your prize' then it is a scam. By legal definition, a prize is free - if you  have to pay for it, it's a no prize.  And you have no idea what else will be charged to your credit card.
