Walmart can go fly a kite. I almost never shop there anymore.

You need to get a new card/bank I would think. Does it cost you that much every time you use it as a debit card?

i always use it as CC, ive mabye used it as a debit 2 times its a Visa

I use mine as whatever I want and never have gotten charged a fee. Unless of course if I go to an atm machine to actually get cash out. That is very rare that I do that though, I usually just go to the grocery store and buy a pack of gum and then get cash back.

BUT by cutting them off Visa/MC wouldn't lose any Walmart business...........because Walmart would have dropped the suit immediately and begged for mercy!

Walmart can't do business if they don't accept Visa/MC

And walmart would sue the living fsck out of them. Visa/MC are essentially in a monopoly position, and walmart has the cash on hand to call them out on it if they so choose.

I have never used a debit card in my life nor paid with check at a store.

Almost the same here ... sometimes when I am at the grocery store I will pay with Debit ... otherwise its credit everywhere else.

That's lame.
I almost always use my debit card now that I get payed with direct deposit.

I assume this is isn't regional since I used my Debit card as a credit card today in Walmart.

The local Sam's Club is no longer taking Visa or Mastercard credit cards as of sometime in August. They had someone in there the other day trying to sign customers up for Discover cards.
