I have a two part question Wireless Credit Card Terminals?
I have a two part question Wireless Credit Card Terminals? 1. Does anyone know if there is a way to process credit cards via a wireless phone? Besides the voice authorization feature. 2. Does anyone know if there are any credit card terminals normally used in storefronts that run on batteries and can be connected to a cell phone?

Wireless Credit card processing? info please
Wireless Credit card processing? info please I sell rare records at conventions and on the street. Needless to say, I will increase my sales if I can accept credit-cards. I'm selling at a big record convention this sunday and want to know if it's possible to process credit cards in a *secure* wireless manner. I've seen other dealers use regular cell-phones, which is pretty risky. There are hundreds if not thousands of cellular hackers scanning for just this type of info..(credit...

Some questions Purchase Prepaid Credit Card?
Some questions Purchase Prepaid Credit Card? Has anyone ever prepaid a credit card so that you have a credit balance, and then made a purchase for more than your limit? I've always thought any purchase would be approved as long as it didn't cause your balance due to go over your limit. But my bank was trying to convince me that a common credit card policy is that any one *transaction* may not exceed your limit, no matter what your credit balance is, but multiple transactions to e...

why some people would even buy Western Union Prepaid Credit Card?
why some people would even buy Western Union Prepaid Credit Card? Prepaid debit cards comments I think it strange on some prepaid cards, they charge you a monthly fee plus an activation fee and other fees. Marsh and cvs sell those cards. Those card companies charge you a 9.95 plus a 4.95 monthly fee right away. Including the western union prepaid debit card. This shows a fee of for $4.99 per card. If you have a checking account with them, some banks my wavie that f...

Who know Web Credit Card Processing?
Who know Web Credit Card Processing? Is there an FAQ or one-stop shopping web site for a small business looking to get credit card processing terminal? When I tried to research this topic on the web, I found too many web sites touting this kind of service. Some claim to have no monthly fee, no transaction fee, etc. But I have the feeling there is a catch somewhere. What I need is an unbiased comparison of services and prices, or a starting point. Some of the questions I have: ...

Difference between Walmart credit card and Walmart Master card?
Difference between Walmart credit card and Walmart Master card? Do I assume correctly that the diff between these two cards is that the Walmart "credit card" can ONLY be used at Walmart stores.....whereas the Walmart MasterCard can be used at ANY place of business? Can either card be used to buy gasoline at a discount from Walmart gas stations?- The NEW Wal-Mart Credit Card from GE can be used at all Wal-Mart stores, SAM'S Clubs and Thrifty Car Rental locations nationwide and at Wa...

bank's Visa Student credit card or American Express? would pay off each month
bank's Visa Student credit card or American Express? would pay off each month I've been looking at some airline sites and American Express seems to have some benefits over a regular Visa card - but AMEX charges an annual fee. Is there any way to get this fee waived? We are mainly operating on a pay as we go basis so a debit card has been fine. However, we hope to finally buy a new computer and I would like the protection offered with using a Student credit card for that purch...

Can anyone recommend a VISA card for small business (not personal!) use?
I am fed up with my current credit card provider (Bank of Scotland) for various reasons. Can anyone recommend a VISA card for small business (not personal!) use? I never withdraw cash. I always pay the cards in full, therefore I don't care about the APR. I am not bothered about reporting facilities or import into Quickbooks etc. Are there any low or no annual fee cards in the UK?- Just out of curiosity - how can BOS screw up such a simple facility? What have they done wrong to...

Banks, Visa,credit and college students
Banks, Visa,credit and college students ? Banks, with college permission, show up on college campuses giving out credit cards like Santa Clause gives candy. Usually, it's for $500.00 until a payment pattern is established, then upward. Students find themselves as much as $5,000.00 in debt before graduating and under the thumb of 18% annual interest. Under the stress of debt, these students turn to excessive tobacco use. I think if the government is gong to outlaw tobacco, it shoul...

Is there a no-fee secured credit card? application problem ? do they verify your status ? I am asking this question on behalf of a friend who is a recent immigrant.
