actually you can use it as a credit card, when it says to enter the pin, just hit cancel, and it'll go through as credit.

this was an intentional design flaw, because for credit card processing, the merchant generally has to pay between 3-5% comission. However, the don't pay anything (or maybe just a flat rate) for debit cards. Whoever designed the credit/debit card machines in use at WalMart/Publix, etc, intentionally had it ask for a pin number regardless of whather you said it was a credit/debit, knowing that most people will go ahead and punch their pin in. If you do type in a debit, it runs as debit. If you hit cancel, it'll go through as credit, and you'll get your % cash back.
