Visa Debit Card FAQ

How does blocking work?

Blocking is most commonly practiced at gas stations, hotels and car rental agencies. Because these retailers generally don’t know how much you will ultimately end up spending, they will put a hold on your credit or debit card for an amount that is higher than the amount you’re quoted when you first hand over the card. For Example: For a $900 three-night hotel stay, a hotel would block $1,200 for five days, all without your knowledge. They do this in case you end up spending more than originally expected. The amount that is blocked varies widely, and it could be a significant sum compared to the actual retail purchase price when the transaction is finalized. Blocking can become a real problem when you pay with your debit card, since it results in money being frozen in your bank account. You will not be able to use that money during the time that it is blocked.

How do you know if your money is being blocked, and how much is being blocked?

Your best defense is to ask the vendor if they block, how much they block, and for how long (note: that often times banks restrict the amount of time merchant’s are allowed to place a hold on funds in your account). That will help determine the best payment option and whether you even want to continue to use that vendor.

Do debit cards help build credit history?

The plain and simple answer is no.

When should I use a debit card?

Debit cards make sense if you are paying monthly bills, daily purchases, at store purchases, and online purchases. However, consumers do need to be aware of the different dispute resolution processes that are used. They are also a great way to spend money without having any negative (or positive) effect on your personal credit rating.

Do you have any extra tips?

Always immediately report Lost/Stolen debit and/or credit cards. Keep your pin safe and private, do not write it on your debit card and DO NOT share it with anyone. Always keep your card information to yourself except during the process of initiating and completing an authorized transaction. Be cautious of retailers/store clerks/etc. that ask to take your card into a private room away from your site as this allows them ample time to grab your card info without your (or their employers) knowledge.
