Checked my bank account and had a hit on my debit card for the USDA today. Two spots on the mountain. Now when do I get to go? Who cares, I am headed up!

Miles to go and promises to keep!!!

I wouldn't think the type of card would make any difference at all.

Sebourn,
I've used my debit card all three times that my application was selected so it's as good as a credit only card.

I'm noticing that the chatter has been about credit cards being hit . . . has anyone had their CHECK cashed? We submitted our application with a check, and it has not cleared. Just wondering . . .

Okay, so we're now seeing a lot of cleared checks and credit card charges, along with several "well, I don't know the actual date, but at least I know I'm going" posts ... has anyone received the actual permit notification yet?

I have been officially "DENIED!"
I received my "I'm Sorry" letter yesterday.

Good Luck to everyone climbing Whitney this year.

I am still going to try for a day permit once the availability list gets published.
