The one thing that seems to be greatly misunderstood here is that when you use a debit card with a Visa logo, like the US Bank WorldPerks Check Card, you ARE protected by the rules of VISA for all of your purchases, just like a Credit Card. The ONLY difference is that it is automatically deducted from your checking account instead of billed to you monthly.</font>
I suggest that you read this article which says that you are not protected when using a debit card:
