    Does your Chase card have a plus symbol?

    You're screwed with the postal account:

    I think it's true and that's good enough for me.

    In addition to the Plus symbol, any of these other ones ought to work at the 7/11:

    thanks for the help guys. chase card has a plus symbol and it ended up working at 7-11. one other question regarding debit cards in japan. i was going to buy myself a used camera. would it be wiser to take the cash out of my chase account and buy it visa cash or should i just swipe and charge it to my debit card? does anyone know if the fees would be larger to swipe or to withdraw it from a 7-11?
