can you use a debit card as a credit card?

probably a redundant question, but I just want to purchase the hl1 anthology pack off steam and was wondering if it would be alright/safe to use my debit card

My debit card is the shittiest form of debit card known to man, and works 99% of the time online!

Many times if you go over your limit you'll be charged an overdraft fee on Debit cards. A lot of it depends on the Bank you're using.



What bank are you with?

a local one, some credit union bullshit

and yes, they charge overdraft, but the 15 for the pack won't put me even slightly close to over my limit

I was just afraid that it would be unsafe or something

You'll be fine then - I thought you meant spending more than your limit.



If it has the little "visa" thing on it, or another major card, you'll be fine for sure.

If the card is a VISA, any site that accepts VISA will take it, regardless if it's credit or debit.
