It's valid as a secondary ID for some things, like "show two forms of ID" to prove it's you. Basically they want something with the same name as what's on your photo ID. Chances are, if the photo ID is a fake, you won't have a debit card or credit card with the same name on it.
But it doesn't suffice for a primary ID mainly because it doesn't have your date of birth or address on it. Even the few debit cards with your photo on it won't really cut it; those are more to prevent identity fraud if someone steals your debit card.

I think most places want to see a photo ID. Most credit cards don't have a photo.

You also can get one when you are under 21, and under 18 actually, so they would be no good as proof of age.

Yeah, and some states (or maybe it was just MA?) won't even accept out-of-state licenses for alcohol.
I'm quickly becoming addicted to facebook scrabbleish games, but I hate people who cheat, and you can always tell. And they do it all the fucking time. I keep wanting to grab people by the collar and yell 'OH, THAT'S YOUR WORD? DEFINE THAT FOR ME, MOTHERFUCKER!'
If you have to use an app to get your words, you're not playing pseudoscabble, you're just trolling the dictionary.

Debit cards are rather different in the UK from Norwegian ones (I discovered this when Jens came to visit this time). For a start they do not have a photo of the owner on them. All mine has is my name and the card number, which I can never remember - useful as it stops me shopping online by mistake - and the chip.
