Alex+  +  368980 Tue, 22 May 07 07:41 PM I've heard "Do you accept credit cards?" many times and I've never heard "Do you accept debit cards?" Is it Ok to ask "Do you accept credit cards?" if I've got a debit card not a credit one? Or you always say "credit cards" no matter what kind of card you have? Thanks for any help in advance.

(If your debit card has the Mastercard or Visa symbol on it, it's accepted as a credit card, so you can use the more familiar "Do you take/accept credit cards?")
