Haha yea, saw this posted on another forum. It's weird that he got charged, you'd think the card would just be denied or something.

I call :bullshit:

1. His card would have declined with such a large amount.
2. The till would not allow such a big number, our only allows 6 digits.

Bank of America tells WMUR-TV only the card issuer, Visa, could answer questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.

I don't understand how a debit card can be turned in a visa card.....?

Try the WORLD!

The total GDP worldwide in 2008 is estimated at 60 trillion dollar.

With 23 quadrillion, you could get the entire world in your hand with the change alone..... :D

open a account at any US bank, they will give u a debit card with VISA logo. it can therefor be used as a visa, complete with exp date and 3 digit security pin at the back and also u can put it into a Intrac mach. and get money out.

visa-debit card. like having a visa tied directly to ur chq'in account
