depends on who you are booking with - might be a safer option to get a credit card - put some money on it and book away.

Ps. Jetblue is possibly the best when searching for internal flights in USA (at worst it will provide you with the carrier/times of flights and approximate costs)

Don't think it works, most accept the major credit cards and that the card has to be linked to your mailing address in the USA.

Open a US bank account with a bank that offers a Visa Debit, works exactly the same as a credit card in terms of online buying/booking.

I hope you got your visa issues sorted.

If its got a Visa or Mastercard logo on it it'll work in the states.

No laser/maestro
