I was wondering why UMBC doesn't accept Visa. I don't know about others, but for me it gives me a LOT of trouble when it comes to paying things. All my family members use Visa, and I don't use checks from my bank account. I need to pay a $20 parking ticket and I need to go to my bank and get some checks then need to pay. It does waste my time. You might as well say "Just use checks" "Get over it", or even "Use Mastercard". Sure I may do that, but I'd be appreciated to know why. I'm glad though, that stores and restaurants accept Visa, otherwise I would've been going through a lot of trouble by now.
