What I've got is a standard visa debit card that takes the payment out of my account as soon as I use it. This is the same as a Maestro card that I have with HSBC. The reason a visa debit card is better for me is that I travel abroad with work and found that my visa electron card wouldn't work in many places but my Maestro card did so a visa debit card will too.
Out of interest dcl, where you travel abroad to, as I was under the impression that Visa Electron was a lot more widely accepted than Maestro? It seems that the UK seems to have a lower opinion of Visa Electron.

The UK has made the VE into a low status debitcard for traveller needs. One look at the VISA website sees the how the Middle East, Europe and Far East embrace this card! Easy Jet prefers this card and Singaport Airline accepts VE. So why don't BA and Virgin, GNER rail accept this card? It is just operating franchise politics.

To answer you question Wen, Maestro does less well in Middle and Far East but in Western Europe it has V. good acceptance.
