I would have been interested until for some reason I had to visit the bank down the street and happened to chat with the teller in some way that brought up the problem of Network Solutions pretending to accept paypal but then once you get down it it ends up rejecting paypal if you don't have a credit card linked to your paypal account.

That led to her claiming the bank can issue debit cards that are disguised/coded as credit cards, so that those accepting them cannot just take one look at the card number/code and go like hey that is no credit card, gedoutahere!

Free!

At that price, how could I refuse? So now I have what purportedly ought to pass on the net as a credit card, and it was lack of such a tool that had kept me from getting into AWS several times over the last few years, if only for the free trial level year.

Which come to think of it would be a way of testing if that card really does perform as the teller claimed.

I guess I'll have to get back to you when the freebie runs out or I fail to get it or when I decide to upgrade it, since getting money into my bank account to feed the card would involve selling bitcoins for fiat anyway.

One gotcha that does worry me though is if I get AWS myself there is only Amazon to worry about. If I get it through you who will Amazon consider to be the owner of the code and data I put on their system, me or you?
