If you have a debit card linked to your bank account, you can order that way. However, you need to have enough money in the bank to make the purchase.
That's probably a good thing if you're a student, though. And I'm a student, so I mean that well... :^)

you could buy an apple gift card in the right amount at the apple store and use that towards the refurb purchase online.
If you have the funds in your bank account, you can buy the computer online by using your debit card as a credit card. They'll ask for the same things (card number, expiration date, address, etc), and you'll pay through your account that way.
mine doesnt have one. CIBC bank, my credit card has security on the back. but debit just shows the card numbers
Not true. A company online doesn't care if you pay with credit or with debit as long as the order goes through.
)but the options are mastercard, visa and paypal. I really want this refurb model. Cant i go to an apple store and do the order there?
Forgot about that part! If your debit has Mastercard or Visa or Amex in the lower right, you can. That means it's backed by a CCC. If it doesn't, then no, you won't be able to do this. I don't know about ordering from a store; I've only heard of ordering online. You might be better off trying to order by phone, though I don't know if that's possible either.
You can use a debit card but it has to have a visa or mastercard whatever on it.
If your card doesn't. Or doesn't have a security code go to your bank and ask for a card that will work. If you have your credit card from the same bank you have your debit at you maybe be able to have them approve a larger credit for that purchase. I have done that before, I bought something that was 1000 on a card that was only 600 credit limit. FYI my bank is Wells Fargo. I am a student as well.
Good luck with whatever you do.
