I have always noticed that whenever you do a POS purchase with the epassporte electron visa card, you are required to say it is a credit card purchase not a debit card purchase, when, in fact, the card is really nothing more than a debit card. Since I believe the transaction fees are higher with credit card purchases than debit card purchases, I always thought in the back of my mind that this was epassporte's way of bilking more transaction fees out of POS businesses. I may be totally off base on this but I wonder if that may have anything to do with it.
