Same question. No bank is crazy enough to give me a credit card right now. But I do have a normal debit card (bank card as we say), which can very simply be used to confirm I exist (or whatever the reason is they need card info, which makes it strange that you'd be able to use a friend's card, since that's not on your name)
This is going to cause much chaos once registration opens...

There are many ways to confirm your identity, but as the announcement clearly states, the credit card is the only verification method that can be used on the reservation-website. So no, a debit card will not be sufficient for that purpose.

Hmm interesting, I'll have to look into getting a credit card then I guess, since I don't know anyone with one (only Debit cards/"Bank cards").

It needs to be a credit card, or a debit card that works like a credit card. Normal bank cards (girocard etc...) will not work for the reservation.

DARN! There goes my chance to visit EF again. (and NO, I know nobody who actually has a CC. Only prepaid CCs that I know are preloaded with 50€ or €25. That doesn't cut it AT ALL!
