    If you are American you can apparently get a debit credit card tied to a bank account. Dude, um, what do you expect to do, mail your cash in?

    i have a debit card,

    however orders can only be completed with visa or mastercard.

    not the same thing.

    boots are being done by a third party this time so i doubt they will take cash.

    seriously... do you send these same messages to every online retailer? You can't even walk into a blockbuster and set up a rental acct without a credit card. You ever stop to think that this is your problem and not Pearl Jams?

    Yes, can't you get a CC? not hard to sign up unless you're under 18.

    I think with a paypal account you can generate credit card numbers. And to use paypal you would just have to link your bank account.
    I could be wrong though.

    cc's are not a part of life in the uk. they are an option. not an essential.

    you can sign up for anything as long as u have drivers licence, utility bill or a passport.

    not everyone wants credit. which is why i think its unfair that debit cards arent accepted.

    You would have a point, IF debit cards weren't also able to be used as Mastercards. Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't ALL debit cards given that option???

    i know HOW to get a credit card, but at the end of the day PJ has a wide audience. UK fans are limited to how much we can participate just because the people in charge of the store and the boots think every mother on the plant has a fucking credit card.

    in some countries the idea of not having a credit card is alien. but in a country where credit is just an easy way into debt, most people stick to debit cards.

    No. Credit cards are provided by a third party. e.g. they pay for things on our behalf and bill you every month.

    Debit cards comes directly from your account.

    I live in the USA but I use my debit card which is eithe rvia or mastercard easily. I use pre-paid debit cards that I get and reload with cash weekly for online stuff. Nothing attached to a bank account.

    maestro is the same as mastercard. you can use your debit card.

    I don't own a credit card and buy all my things (online and otherwise) with my debit card.

    Sorry, sounds like you're just lazy and looking for a reason to justify downloading music for free.

    i shop online all the time with my debit card. its not a problem in this country.

    not getting a credit card isn't lazy its just me not wanting one because i dont believe in credit.

    and im not the only one on these boards that was flocking to get to the threds posting the 2006/2007 boots for free.

    im not a thief. but when reduced to one option what else can you do?
