Some people would complain if they were hanged with a new rope<g>

Your rebate is what?  $25, $50, $75? You can't make a purchase that
large and add a buck or two out of your pocket?  I could see being a bit
pissed - both at myself and them if the rebate came as a merchandise
check you could only use at, say, K-mart but what the hell, Visa Debit
is like cash.

Don't forget to check to see if they have an expiration date. Some of
the debit cards that are given out expire after a certain time period.
Some as short as 30 days!

Can you not take the Visa debit card to any ATM and withdraw cash? My
Visa debit does.

I hate these cards too.  Just give me cash.

I called up cingular and had them apply the rebate card to my Cingular
account.  Simple and let's me get rid of the card immediately!

You can pay your Cingular bill with the Visa cards, though....money is
