when it asks for your pin, hit cancel and it should give you payment type options.

If it has a Visa or Mastercard logo (Discover and AmEx don't play yet, as far as I know), then it can be entered as a credit card. No PIN should be required.
Actually, that'* kinda of the point of them running them through Visa and Mastercard, so that as far as the retailer is concerned, it'* just another credit card.

I have a Visa and Mastercard.....Now, when I use the actual credit card it doesn't ask me debit or credit, but my bank card it will ask me

My dad'* actually been burned twice by this - luckily the bank caught it and notified us, and them being insured, we got the money back. The second time was more coincidence than anything... but anyway, the rule of thumb - use CASH at places like gas stations, or small shops. You should be good to go if at a major supermarket retailer, or the like. It'* easy to put card readers and PIN readers on smaller, dodgy businesses...

A lot depends on what type of software a company uses to process the transactions.
