  • The key giveaway here would be the ATM screen... the menu shown would be different for CREDIT and would legally have to ask you to accept the fee for using a credit card in an ATM.

    As soon as you see that you know its credit :-)

    Yeah good point, that and it asks you what language you want to use. Debit cards don't ;)

    Although when I'm going from pub to pub (Oh, nearly time! :D ) I just want my £10 or £20, I don't want to press yes and no all the time to "Balance?", "Receipt?", "Mini Statement?", "Fries with that?" so just repeatedly press the same button until it gives me my money.... lolz

    I've done this too, however it was my mistake so I stood the loss. I didn't expect someone else to pay for my error.

    My Tesco credit card is the same colour as my debit card.

    I've seen that in this country, but are you saying it doesn't matter where in the world you are you'll always see it?
  • I thought so... but maybe not out of the UK
