Buying Wii Points On Debit

Hey. So, I gotmy Wii about a month ago,and now i'm buying from the VC..But i'm using a VISA Debit Card.

I was wondering if, when I fill the form out on the Wii, if I buy it on a debit card, but I enter the billing information...Will it appear on my parent's credit card bill? Just wondering before I do anything else. 

FYI, you get charged 60 cents on top of the $10 for 1000 points when using a credit card. I was pretty pissed. Might be more cost-effective to go buy a Wii Points card...umd1998

 Actually this depends on the area you live in or at least the area your credit card is registered in. Certain areas will not charge you tax.

Yes, 22 or 24 states in the US have to pay tax on their points

Most states don't have to though. 

MMM no. Wii points cards are 18.98 in a lot of stores but with the sales tax it is higher then 20 bucks often 22 or 23. Some stores like target charge 25 for 2000 points without the sales tax. meimnobody

Alabama here, and we pay only what we buy.  $20 for 2000 Points = $20 charge on my (not my parents) Debit card.

Of course I am 37, so maybe that is why they charge me and not my mom.  :)

I live in Richland, and when I went to buy Wii points online it asks for your Zip code and I believe it uses that to determine sales tax.  From now on I plan to buy Wii points in Oregon.  I go to Hermiston a lot for work and if I'm down there already I go to Walmart and buy stuff there.  Going to Oregon doesn't work if you live in Seattle or Spokane, but if you live in Vancouver, Tri-Cities or Walla Walla, you can save a bit of money by going to Oregon.

Who's stupid enough to pay $25 for something that's worth $20?
