If you debit card says VISA on it with a 16-digit account number embossed on the card, it CAN be used as a credit card without the PIN. If it doesn't, it can't. |
It isn't that a debit card can't be used a a credit card, it's just that Enterprise's computer systems will only read it as debit-directly withdrawling funds from said account. So it's just a different system not able to read a debit as both, unlike a gas station or Walgreens that give you the option.
