Default Amarica is a little behind - 12-21-2004, 11:19 AM

I was shopping in the states yesterday, and i never bring cash because i allways use my interact bankcard. as i was there picking up stuff i find out at the register that you guys dont take interact!
I ask the lady if it was just her store, and she was like, all of America doesnt have interact. is this true?

i couldnt belive it. weird

Yeah we have that... I think it may have to do with Canadian & American banks. I have had problems with my debit card in Canada before.

...if you're Canadian, what are you doing shopping in the U.S.?

If youre using a debit card without the visa logo or within a system not recognized by certain P.O.S. machines - no it wont work. Its the same here or when you use an ATM machine.

Hardly "behind" - different banking system.
