Local CVS could not do split tender with debit mode, but can do it with credit mode. She turned the screen around for me to see "Full payment is required" after she chose split tender and I entered the PIN followed by no cash back - then the system wanted full payment. Though I am not sure whether it is due to the cashier wants to input the amount of payment instead of letting the card to auto-drain.

We switched to credit mode and she still entered the split tender with amount. System accepted each card and I read her the last 4 and the signature screen popped up. $200, $200, $104.95, done.

In any case I am grateful she even agreed to do it without insisting the card has my name on it (told her it does not but it is debit card with PIN - she said company policy required her to ask - though may not need to be enforced that is how I interpret it as she let me use the cards.)
