Why the use of VCC/Gift Cards vs Debit?
 

So I am scaling my operation but why all the obsession with gift and credit cards, you need a new bank account to get the money, and every bank account these days comes with a free visa or mc debit card? Is there a reason not to use this card number with your account setup?

My workflow:

Open account with real address
get card and checks
switch to online statements
change address to "other"

Now i have a new bank, and card with fresh AVS data?

You need the bank account for deposit anyways so...why VCC?

Thanks!!

Vccs are anonymous, debit cards are not. If the account goes down, ebay/pp can pull money from your debit card, with a vcc they cannot.

Also most people don't want to have 100 debit/credit cards open
