nivlac: Were these last few posts really necessary?
Nothing is necessary in the world of discussion forums. To your initial post, which was not qualified as a statement applying to US users only, I replied with exactly 5 lines of text. The remaining 2 paragraphs were for WGT.com staff. To those 5 lines, you replied with 3 paragraphs of your own, opening them with "Lol, it's not untrue." So, please, don't accuse me of wanting to butt heads with others, or of launching unnecessary debates. You chose to discuss the issue of credit cards at length, and I joined you in that discussion. That is all, and no harm has been done, I hope. I greatly enjoy your forum posts and you are definitely a model forum contributor if there ever was one.
As to the sweeping generalizing statements by you, there were 2, none of them qualified as "meant only for US users":
nivlac: You need to make sure that it doesn't say "electronic use only" on the back. Those cards can only be swiped through a machine and can't be used online!
nivlac: Just make sure it doesn't say electronic use only. Then there is absolutely no doubt
I simply felt it would be useful to point out that the matter isn't as clear-cut as the above 2 statements might suggest.
