Finances while on the road

IF you are a veteran, get an account with USAA. I've used the ATM card they will give you all over the world.

I do my primary banking with a credit union, and never had a problem using that card anywhere in the US, I haven't dealt with a normal bank in over 30 years.

 

I use my debit card with pin at pilot/flying J's all the time.

 

I use the Bluebird from American Express. Fee free, direct deposit, deposit checks through your smart phone, and free atm at Walmarts. I have run into 2 places that didnt take American Express. So I keep some cash anyways for emergencies. I also have a $100 hidden in the truck for emergency toll money
I can get cash advance free also anytime I get fuel.

 

Any service in which you have an account can add notes to accounts and have them prioritized. I worked in customer service 5 years before getting into trucking. So, when a call is made that notation is the first thing the CSR sees and can understand the call if it pertains to that issue. You'd be quite surprised the notes that are left on accounts and for what reasons.

 

cash.

no identity theft.

only use one for major buys.

a credit card for $1.25 coffee?? really?

 

Better write to corporate. Just tried again based on your post. Nope, they don't do debit cards with PIN's. Credit only

 

Maybe you have a crappy bank. I have no issue using my PIN at Flying J/Pilot. Did so 10 minutes ago as a matter of fact.

 

I should clarify. You can't use a debit card with PIN for fuel

 

No But I recommend prepaid debit cards they are easier to deal with if you have card issue they have 24 hour service no overdraft fees no monthly fees and you can do alotments.

 

Great idea but does it cost anything for a prepaid card?This day and age people don't wanna spend anymore then they absolutely have to.I don't pay monthly fees on my debit card but someone got my number and charged$700.00 thru western union.I did get all that money back but its a scarely thing.
