cash back when using a debit card....
What's the deal? Got to be a fee for that the way they push it right?

The debit card carries a Visa or MasterCard logo and the merchant still pays the swipe fees, etc.

The money comes directly out of your checking account. But, the VISA or MC fee is there and any 'points or cash rebate' is from that just like any other affinity card deal

I thought he was talking about the "Do you want cash back with your purchase?" question you always have to step through when using a debit card. Unlike using a foreign ATM, there's no fee for that.

Yup that;s what I was asking. They way they push it figured it must be a money maker for somebody.
