I am confused on what I am reading.

Can you pay for the website with the VISA Debit card, or just the Consultant VISA? I see two different things that lead me to think both... I can't figure out what it is.

I know they just changed this for Jan. 1 2008, so it looks like now you can ONLY pay with the VISA, but then somewhere else I saw it said your debit card will be billed. I am so confused.

TIA for your response!

You can pay either way (PC debit card or PC visa). I used my debit card for mine since I didn't qualify for a PC credit card. :(

PHEW! Cause I know I wouldn't be qualifying either, and even if I did, I don't WANT another darn CC. haha :eek:

And, you are sure this is after Jan 1 2008?? Thanks, just being sure!
 
Yup.... after qualifying they sent an email for a 90-day free trial of PWS and I never put my payment info in (I figured, they had that info, I wouldn't need to supply it)... they actually canceled my site and I just went in, put in my PC Debit numbers and they re-activated it - best part.. nothing was lost! I thought I'd have to put in all my contacts and such but didn't. Anyway, that whole thing just happened last week and if you look under "Update Site Options" when you're in your PWS manager you'll see the choice between PC debit and PC credit card...
 
It was confusing how they worded it when they switched companies for the PC credit card. It sounded like everyone had to get a cc. The debit card is not affected at all by the change, it's just those that had the old cc that had to switch/apply for the new one.
