Easy. Does it say Electron on it? No? I'd click "Visa"

Visa Debit, or just Visa. As noted above, unless it explicitly states Visa Electron then that's the wrong option.

Remember though, these cards are 'all auth' (as detailed on your PIN advice) which means that you cannot use them on planes, trains and petrol pay at pumps etc.

They have to be online to make authorisations. Basically a glorified electron card

Last year i had a barclays visa debit and used it on the train for an £80 train ticket. Why wouldn't the HSBC visa debit work in the same way?

It will work on the train, to buy a ticket, as those machines are not programmed to recognise these cards. Indeed a Visa Electron card also works in them, and recognised as Visa, it is simply the staff are warned not to accept them as they can bounce.

I have used a Cashplus pre-paid card on a train when I had no money on it for a £64 ticket, which I obviously put on when I was contacted by them.

I think "never-in-doubt" needs a new title.

that can't be right, else these new cards are worse than the old maestro which worked everywhere!

It would be a very strange Visa Debit Card if it could only be used online.

Agreed, all of mine with other banks also use 'verified by VISA' for online transactions but function normally for all other transactions.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of my new HSBC VISA Debit Card, and have no doubt that it will operate in exactly the same way as any of my others.

Rusty!

I've used my HSBC VISA Debit in many Pay@Pump petrol stations, never-in-doubt is simply wrong.

If you got Maestro before, you will get a full (non All-Auth) Visa Debit. The all-auth cards replace Solo.
