The issues that I have problems with are listed above. First and foremost are the overdraft fees. I know that it is possible to cap the card, because it will let you overdraft, but not past a certain amount (this may be a constant number, but still). I know the technology is available to not let someone overdraft period - I've seen it in action with the old Chase card. I am also unhappy with the 50 cent charge on debit purchases, which historically post to online accounts very quickly (not always, I know). The fact that using the "credit" option is encouraged leaves people with untidy balances online, and makes them susceptible to overdraft. For companies that boast convenience and transparency (not to mention handling our nation's students' bank accounts), is it responsible to lure them into a web of overdraft fees?
