Consumer Update – Useful Information for Online Credit Card Usage
Now, since we have e-shops and virtual shops we, consumers, are able to make purchases from these online stores using a credit card. This we can do by making use of the online store’s credit card payment approval facility. Once our online credit card payments are accepted and verified, the purchased goods are delivered to our doorstep. This is purchasing convenience at its best.
Having more and more e-shops popping up everyday, online credit card usage is becoming more popular than ever. The option to receive online credit card payments has brought an entirely new dimension to shopping, for both merchants and consumers. Now, you can both shop from the comfort of your home and get discounted products purchased on the internet. This is makes shopping far more pleasurable. Shopping on the internet, you have no need to worry about the weather, traffic jams or other things needed to shop outside your home. Instead you can go to an e-shop, select product/s, and make use of the merchant’s online credit card acceptance and approval facility, to make the payment for your goods. Then, all that is left to do, is wait to receive the products at your doorstep. Online credit card processing also makes starting an online business very easy.
As with almost anything else, credit card usage on the internet is not without its pitfalls. A pitfall of online credit card usage to guard oneself against is the possibility of online credit card fraud. Credit card fraud typically happens in two ways. The first way has to do with the online merchant that you are going to purchase goods from. This merchant may be a fraudulent merchant who takes your online credit card payment, but does not deliver the products to you. Moreover, they could use the credit card details you have put on the credit card payment form, for dishonest purposes. The second kind of fraud is committed by fraudsters who use spyware software and devices to intercept the details of online credit card payments. The spyware software captures keystrokes or takes screenshots of what you do on your computer and sends it to the spy. This type of online fraud is easily managed by using anti-spyware software designed to counter the effectiveness of spyware.
It is readily observed, the advent of online credit card usage gives a very useful purchasing option to consumers and merchants. However, caution must still be exercised when making online credit card payments. And, always remember, don’t access your bank accounts or make online credit card payments from internet cafes, unless you are absolutely sure the internet cafe is reputable and rightly credentialed.

How Payment Processing Works
Before being able to accept credit card transactions and other forms of online payments, a merchant will need to set up a merchant account with a bank. A merchant account is the industry term for a business banking relationship whereby you and a bank have arranged to accept credit card payments (usually, a local bank can suffice for this kind of relationship). Setting up a merchant account usually involves the bank understanding your business and working with a third-party processor to arrange a mechanism for accepting payments. For more information on setting up merchant accounts, we recommend you take a look through the http://www.card-gallery.com to get you started in the right direction.

Follow the instructions, First name, then last name . . .
The merchant will submit the name to the credit card company for verification. As long as the credit card company doesn't have the name wrong, it should work.

Do you have an ATM card with visa/mastercard logo on it?

No, not at all. Your reply email with your information is probably in line to be reviewed and "looked at". You will receive a reply possibly with a card or not in about a week. Good Luck.

I've applied for a few different cards through such sites and have found them to be safe.
Those types of sites generally link to a credit card application page that is secure (encrypted connection) so you don't have to worry about the personal info you're entering being intercepted by snoops. You can confirm the secure connection by the little padlock symbol in your browser (or the https:// on the front of the URL as previously mentioned).
If you happen to be looking for a rewards card and would like to get the card (or combination of cards) that will pay you the most for your spending profile, you may find this rewards calculator to be useful. It's the only one of its kind I know of:

Don't go by rate alone. The only way to compare companies is to compare the total of all fees for the month and divide by your Visa/MasterCard/Discover sales (this is what your rate really is for the month). Include all fees for example; monthly minimum, gateway fees, internet transaction fees, batch fees, network fees, any fees from third party companies besides your processor.

the only thing more dangerous than someone with bad credit is someone with no credit. they are wary of you since you have no established credit, your a student blah blah blah. it takes them awhile to verify your status, residence, job (if you have one), and your account status. if you had established credit then it wouldn;t necessarily take this long to approve or deny your application. if you do get this one and are financilly responsible; when you apply for other cards in the future, the response time will be a lot quicker. basically, once they can pin you down, see you can make payments, you'll get it.

As long as you pay at least the minimum payment before the due date, you will be reported as "on time" to the credit bureau. If the second installment is after the due date, you will have to pay interest on your next statement. To avoid paying interest, you have to pay the whole balance before the due date.
