No, they can't tell when the same card can be processed in both ways. Just for fun, check out your bank's debit card fraud protection details - odds are you're much better protected if you run your debit card as a credit card (i.e. no PIN, but a signature), that way visa/MC takes on the fraud risk.
- bobwaycott 11y agoInteresting. Are you sure about this? I typically only use a credit card. They can't tell there's no debit capability? Also, on some rare occasions when I use my debit card, the PIN entry pops up without prompting. If I don't trust the place or don't want to divulge my PIN to prying eyes, I have to hit a cancel button to process as credit. I've never seen a PIN prompt show up when swiping my credit card. If they can't tell, how does the terminal prompt for PIN only when a debit card is swiped?
