Smart Money is Not Really a Smart Card

Yesterday, I told you about making your cellphone you wallet, right? And doing this need you to have your own SMART Money.

And did you know that today I was embarrassed by the SMART Money?

Actually, the real cause of this embarrassment is my expectation that SMART Money can be used as credit card just because it has the MasterCard Electron logo printed on it. However, when I use it into my AMAZON account, I realized that this couldn’t be used as credit card.

Amazon emailed me this:

    It was probably for your protection too. My bank issued me two cards.. one that’s for online transaction use and one that can not be used online in anyway.

    Mastercard and Mastercard Electronic are two different beasts :) You can’t use a Mastercard Electronic on Mastercard enabled store. Same as Visa and Visa Electron.

    As u can see the card was marked mastercard electronic not a mastercard. that only shows it has a specific store where you can purchase using it.
