Q: | How does it work for purchases? |
A: | When you are ready to buy something, just tell the clerk you wish to pay with VISA. They'll either ask you credit or debit or the card swipe machine will direct you to choose debit or credit. If you choose debit you'll be required to key in your (PIN) and then you will be given a receipt. If you choose credit, once the transaction is complete, you sign a receipt and get a copy for your records. Then the funds will be automatically withdrawn from your checking account. |

A: | Whatever way you choose the money is automatically withdrawn from your checking account. |
Q: | How do I keep track of my purchases? |
