My country might be especially backwards then. Most debit cards are based on the mastercard subsidiary Maestro. In order to get a visa or masercard, you can either get one at a bank, (which is kinda pointless since they are less useful than debit cards around here and have additional fees.) Or you can buy a prepaid credit card, which is basically an expensive gift certificate. Credit cards are quiet rare around here. And their only real use is international travel. On average an American charges $4000 on credit card each year, compared to $158 for a German. Also most CC seem to work on a "pay everything at the end of the month" system. I never really thought about it that much before, but I guess Germans really don't like debt.

Maestro are just cheap non-embossed Mastercards that are given alongside with student accounts, for secondary accounts in bundled products etc. I'm 101% sure basically anybody who gets a new account in Germany is eligible for a full fledged MC / Visa debit card, maybe you should ask your bank about that. Hell, I used to have an account at an Erstebank subsidiary, and all their banking packages came with a free card with online shopping enabled. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Oct 22, 2016 |

In the US the fees for accepting credit cards are [almost always] paid by the merchant. The liability protections for credit cards are typically better than debit cards. You don't have to carry debt on your credit card. Many US credit card companies offer some kind of "reward" for using their card (frequent flier miles, "cash back", Amazon credit, etc.) so if you pay it off at the end of each month you get some benefit over using a debit card. Is someone going to actually make a video game? I thought that was just a joke

I also had to jump thru a bunch of hoop poo poo to get a digital visa account here in the lowlands, but its true you get annual fees just for having a cc around these parts. The service i used (ideal > pay2d) doesn't seem to be available in Germany tho unfortunately.

I donated $15, and I'm Canadian so that's more like $35CAD (thanks Obama) All I want beyond the 6 lines at the basic $10 level is a custom grafitto on the side of my ship that says "German Credit Card" and has a poorly-drawn Iron Cross.
