Although I had money (cash) and a Debit card with a bank for over 20 years, I was REJECTED to rent a car because it was not a major credit card. YOUR LOSE, and you will CONTINUE TO LOSE because you REJECT other forms of payment offered by SOUND & STABLE customers who practice NO DEBT strategies TO CREDIT CARDS which in TRUTH is only a legalized credit scame meant to CREATE DEBIT. NO REWARD FOR SOUND FINANCIAL RESPONSANLE customers
