Credit card may do wonders for you

I prefer debit card; that way there's no credit involved, and to the seller it still likes like a Visa/Master Card.

I wonder why a money order would be any different from a cheque? Wouldn't you just mail it in?

Actually, they don't appear to take checks -- just credit card, money order, and wire transfer.

"Frustrated are we?"

Not any more.

I'm moving to another NLE.

That's ridiculous. It's 2007, get a debit card.

Not any more.

Good luck. Uness you plan to go to Best Buy (or simular) you're going to have a hard time. I checked Adobe, Avid & Pinnacle: no mention of any way to purchase directly from them unless you use a CC.

Frankly, I think you're lucky they even take money orders at all. I doubt most online retailers do.

Did you ever even try calling customer service?

Rob

I haven't seen a money order in years. Do they still sell them?

It's hard to imagine anyone in the 21st century without credit or debit cards, but I do somehow manage to frequently get behind someone in the supermarket checkout line (usually a little old lady) who waits until the total is showing on the register before she even begins to look for her checkbook.

There should be a surcharge for people like that.

course they still sell there. some places won't accept CC/Debit cards (got fingerprinted for work: required a check, cashiers check or MO).

Be kind Steve, some day you are going to be a little old man. :)

Yeah, but at least he won't be using checks in stores. ;-) Granted, by that point, all the young people will pay by waving their chip-implanted hands across the checkout scanner, and us old people will be wasting everyone's time while we swipe our old-technology debit cards.

FYI, walmart doesn't accept debit cards. At least my walmart doesn't. So I have to use a check!

Every wal*mart i go to accepts debit cards. Actually, i can't think of the last time i went to a store that didn't accept debit cards. I can buy 59 cents worth of french fries at McDonalds with my debit card. Most of the little mom&pop shops in my area accept Visa & Mastercard debit cards and in fact aren't even aware that they're not swiping a credit card.

Now, if you mean a bank's own ATM card, then i would agree that you're not going to find many places that accept that.

for my bank mastercard debit = atm. Just my local walmart won't accept it. no clue why. They 100% refuse. Noy just my bank's but all debit cards.

Walmart stopped taking MasterCard debit cards years ago. Visa debit cards are, last I read, okay. Also, MasterCard debit cards are acceptable if you enter your PIN (which usually costs you a fee) instead of sign (which would cost Walmart a fee).

Clicky for more info.

i only get fees if I use ATM's with my debit (or credit) card. Hence I don't use it. Plus I don't know my PIN. :) But my bank doesn't offer any fraud protection on the card (none I know of anyway) so I use my CC for anything more then groceries/gas & for all online purchases.

Ironicly, walmart complains the cost is to high yet the local pizza guy takes them. And the local hardware store. And Target, grocery stores, etc. Walmart doesn't even accept checks anymore, they just do e-checks. Walmart lost a LOT of business from me when they did that. I used to shop there every week & now shop there for ~$100 of items all year. I drive 20 miles to target instead.

but back on topic.... at least sony takes money orders. :D

And the winner is: EDIUS Broadcast or FCP.

Way to go Sony, make it a pain in the butt for your customers to give you money.
Now thats a great business plan!
