It is odd that this is allowed but not a MO.
It's odd that my small grocery purchases charged to BHN card defaulted to "Debit", while the large VGC purchase defaulted to "Credit" mode.
On reflection through it's consistent with the BHN business model. Most of their income comes from "breakage", i.e. people forgetting balances or losing cards. Buying a MO would not contribute anything to BHN income, so they try to make it difficult.
