Can I pay for my Anandtech subscription with a Debt card or Pay Pal??

[Brutuskend]

I decided to finally "Do It" last night and it seems they want a credit card (I don't do them)....

I emailed to the link on the subscribe page asking about Debit Card or Pay Pal, but haven't gotten any response yet.

Anyone know if they'll do Pay Pal or Debit???

Yes you can use your debit card if it has the Visa or MasterCard logo on it.

Paypal, not sure.

It's foolish to use a debit card...especially if it's tied to your checking account or the same bank as your checking/ savings. Credit cards can only hold you liable for up to $50 of stolen money. Debit cards are not federally protected and the issuing bank can freeze your checking/ savings accounts. I use a credit card that costs me nothing and I get about 30 days interest free on average for all purchases. I pay it off every month so I pay no interest either.

madthumbs - I totally agree, I never use my debit card for any internet purchase. But some people don't have a cc

well I figure if anandtech isn't safe, who is??

This (paying for my subscription to anandtech) is the ONLY time I will use my debit card online...

The billing agency for Anandtech is a third-party. So presuming it will be safe because it's Anandtech isn't quite accurate.
