If it's a visa/mastercard I wouldn't think it would be a problem. where is he going?

that's NOT true...you'll (from what I've heard from a LOT of people) have more problems with NFCU than USAA...We're opening up another USAA account so that DH has his own account and checks/check card and I'll just put money in it every payday.

I do agree to NOT switch over to Navy fed at all costs they are horrid.

We have USAA and America's CU (formerly Fort Lewis Community Credit Union)

It really depends on what he's going to be purchasing, but my DH just uses his debit card--although sometimes it takes a week for the charges to show up. Another option is to have him take a checkbook to his own account and he can cash a check for cash and use that.
