Yeah, but they’ll get to use it anywhere they use a credit card. Car rentals usually won’t take debits even when they have a visa logo on it.

I’ll be completely honest, if I were someone who didn’t want to have a credit card I probably would consider something like this just because it would guarantee access for some actions that take credit and credit alone (even if this isn’t credit, it’ll be as good as it).

And I’m as far from Muslim as it gets. This product will actually do quite well among credit averse non-Muslims.

The best news is that it should drive down the cost of prepaid credit cards. Their fees are substantially lower than other prepaid cards available here.

Does American Airlines accept debit cards or just credit?

I don’t do credit cards and I’ve gone everywhere on my debit, including rental cars.

I'd be o.k. with it as well if it were completely anonymous, and I could buy them with ca$h at the local 7-11.

It's none of the government's business what I spend my money on.
