Well actually, a traditional AMEX is not a "credit" card -- it is a charge card. It has to be paid in full each month, so they're really not extending you credit.

I would NEVER put a rental car on a debit card and give those vultures access to my bank account. Not to mention they can put a hold on pretty much whatever amount they want.

But hey, different strokes...

Fixed. That has to be the funniest scenes ever involving a rental car counter.

I had the same problem, and posted the question on the Site Feedback section. Urby clued me in. You copy and past the code after the = sign in between the YouTube brackets.

So that would be: TUaFOepKW20

Put it in this form *Minus spaces...

true....but Budget only has held the exact amount of the rental. airlines sometimes hold double....they hold the amount, then the money debits, then the hold releases. i just always have enough in checking to cover that

Do you have the same dispute rights w/a debit as w/a credit? If you bring the thing back dinged, I would think it would be harder to get money back that they took out of your acct., than to get a disputed charge off of a CC.
