For real! like at where I work you have to wait forever for people to slide their damn cards when it says "slide card" on the screen! Then they ring in say the machine is busted or I dont know what to do. 'How do you use this?'\nMan people are freakin morons!

The only one I can think of is your Check Cashing Outlets.\nThey make it easy for someone who does not have or cannot obtain a bank account. It usually costs about 3% of the value of the check but is an excellent option if you can't get a checking account.

more than likely it is a matter of time, i would keep enough money on the card for what ever the amount was\n\n they will want their money eventually, \n\nthe reason they wait is because the credit card companies charge them eigther a % of the sales, or they charge per transaction, and they are better off turning them in all at once, than one at a time

I opened a savings account at a bank yet did not get an ATM card for the account.  I have money direct deposited from my paycheck into the account each month.  The money just sits there since it would be a pain to drive across town and stand in line to take any money out.  Basically, I just forget about the account unless an emergency comes along.

There may be a provision in the cash advance terms and conditions that if you don't use it, it is withdrawn.  You would have to check your specific terms and conditions.

Because all ATM's are made in the same factory, and they all have braile keypads, regardless of where they are intended to be installed.  It's just cheaper to make them that way.

The cashier isn't required to keep it in that situation, but he can't accept payment on it, as it's obvious that the child isn't the cardholder.  But if he accepts the purchase and the kid knows the PIN, the parent isn't going to be able to dispute the transaction (disclosing PIN waives the right to dispute).  So he loses nothing by doing so.\n\nThere is a rule in law that children don't have capacity to contract: this means that they can't understand the nature of a binding agreement, and it is unfair to place such obligations on them.  I don't know how often it comes up in practice though.

Why, you planning on robbing an ATM machine?  Just kidding.\n\nOne thing I love about ATMs is you can get cash anywhere, you don't have to wait long lines to see a teller, and you can withdraw or deposite on ATMs.  There are drive-thrus available as well.  =)

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!

you typically can't buy money orders with a credit card, cash only in my experience

Boy Oh Boy. Here is the perfect answer...\nDON'T get a credit card.\nIt is the number one American Financial Woe.\nALL the contracts include interest rates as high as 27% once you miss your first payment...AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT IN THE CONTRACT. THEY ALL CAN CHANGE AT ANYTIME. They have the loopiest contracts. And they don't have the same credit controls as a bank.\n\nI don't have a credit card. I have a debit card. I spend money I have and I never go overboard. Every single one of my friends has had a major credit card problem. \n\nGet a credit card ONLY if you can make payments in a timely manner. Otherwise you'll get screwed.\n\nOh, BTW, I used VISA at an ATM in Central Africa so it is Everywhere you want to be\n\nMastercard was the former American Standard\n\nAmerican Express has no limit (DANGEROUS!!!)and is hard to get accepted everywhere.\n\nand Discover is the card that pays you back...sometimes.\n\nThey are great for emergencies, but often become bigger problems than the problems they solve.\n\nDEBIT CARD! Debit Card! DEBIT CARD!\nBut it offers less protection against theft.\nI leave most of my money in my savings and flip in over at an ATM before using it. This also helps me spend a lot less.\n\nGood luck, but you've been warned.\n\nThe Bible also prohibits money lending with interest, but who reads that anymore.

Some retail and gasoline credit cards are not revolving (do not carry a monthly balance) and sometimes are easier to obtain than regular cards. Over time they can help establish history. If you don't have a checking account, open one. You have very little credibility with lenders if you don't have at least a checking account and preferably a savings account as well. Just as importantly, be sure not to overdraw your bank account. Bouncing checks sends a signal to potential lenders that you can't manage your daily finances and are therefore not a good credit risk.

Because they would need to support their own payment network. Visa, MC, etc. provide a network that is secure and can handle huge amounts of transactions. It would take a huge investment to create new ones and then you have to convince businesses to support the new network. Its too much work for the average bank.
