I don't know the specific answer, but one cavaet. In many cases when you use a debit card for something like this, they put a monetary hold on that account.If that happens, the money is considered out of your account until released with the actual amount of purchase.

In CA they are now doing that on some gasoline purchases, until the final transaction clears. There were articles in the newspaper last weekend of people having checks bounce because the 'hold' made them have insufficient funds.

I would use a credit card, travelers checks or cash for your deposit. (You can always use your debit card as you purchase goods/meals).
