Can the debit cards be used for travel money?
Will Quark accept the debit cards and cheques?
@2, I don’t think Ferengi’s accept checks but I’m sure debit/credit cards and gold pressed latinum are OK.
Wish they would make these debit cards available outside the US. :(
Also, the purpose of having Trek (or any similar) branding on something would be to keep as a “souvenir” but these have the standard t&c’s that state that “they own the card and could be requested back at anytime”
Didn’t they have these in the 90’s and early 2000’s? None of this stuff seems “new”, just an old idea being reused.
Beware of Ferengi’s. Once they have your money they’ll never give it back.
“no returns – huu-mon.”
you mean they don’t use money in the 23rd century?
-no they use pre-paid debits and star trek checks
Hmmm…would sign up TODAY for the email if it was “starfleetacademy.edu”
TOS Trek… not the new cast. That tells me something.
Star Trek Into Debt
SWEET!! =)
#9- It tells me that no one is going to remember Chris Pine in 5 years. Pine is a fine actor, but Shatner IS Captain Kirk, and everyone knows it.
I miss my MBNA/BoA Star Trek Credit Cards. I got a free photo at the Star Trek Experience for applying for this card.
It didn’t offer anything more than a picture of an Enterprise on the card and a Starfleet graphic on the monthly statement, but damn it, my CC had a pic of the Enterprise on it and the Starfleet logo on the bill!
And no Ferengi worth his lobes would accept a check.

Yeah me too… They are marketing these to the older generation as they know that the younger generation is not at a point were they care none to much about these things. Myself being sort of in the middle I enjoy them but I think my favorites are the checks with the different series ships and the checks with the different series captains.
