I had to get a new debit card and they gave me a temporary card and i was wondering, if i can use this card to make an online purchase or i have to wait for they send me my new card
Does it have a Visa/MC logo? Does it have the 3 number code on the back? If the answer to those is yes, I would say you could certainly give it a shot.
I have had very good service from Bank of America. They detected a fruad before I did a year or so ago, returned the money, and changed my card. For what its worth I now use a seperate card with a low credit line for all my online and phone purchases. Even though BoA is good, it minimizes my exposure and theirs.
