[nfb-talk] Credit cards

[Mike Freeman]

I, on the other hand, do not wish to pay for such an animal and I do not
wish others to subsidize it as in my opinion, it's not necessary.

Different strokes, etc.

Hi all,

I  have a braille debit card from a major bank. I like this card for a
variety of reasons.  When in Sam's club, I was given someone else's card
even though I already had mine. I could say with certainty it wasn't my
card.  The technology is available to do this!  The size of dots and spacing
can be varied slightly to fit the card.  My card number is on one line no
dashes. Even my name is on the card in braille.  It is on one line.  The 3
number code isn't on my present debit card but it was on other cards which
were compromised. I would like to get a braille card each time I request it.
For me, this is worthwhile and worth working for! After all, one more good
use of braille!

Jim
