When using my Visa Debit in ATM' or at stores, do I choose 'checking' or 'credit' ?

    That should usually be the case but I found when I used a pre-paid debit card I had to choose "credit" in some shops as some terminals interpreted it as a credit card.

    So if the first option doesn't work try the other one.
