I have a debit Mastercard, so it runs as credit but the money comes straight out of my bank account. No one would give me a credit card and I would not want one! Of course, the debit Mastercard is no less invulnerable to fraud and misuse. However, I've heard that you can buy preloaded credit cards that work much like gift vouchers, where you put a certain amount of money on the card and top it up as needed. Some websites allow Bpay, which you can do through your bank account online, and there's also Paypal. Do not despair yet.<br /><br />Anyway, buying online is only half the battle. I ordered a piece of equipment from Dell last week and am now fighting with them and the delivery company, who claim they delivered it to my address where it was signed for by someone 'from reception'. As my address is clearly residential, who knows where on earth they took it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-22134691497403524662011-11-19T14:56:55.362+11:002011-11-19T14:56:55.362+11:00How frustrating!
