Great article. Thanks for the priceless advise.
I use my credit card most of the time because i get rewards points which i can exchange for cash. However i am forced to use my debit card sometimes because credit cards or electronic checks are all some merchants accept

I also prefer using a credit card. Not because I can acquire the things I need before paying for them. But because it is so handy that I don’t need to carry that much cash. But of course I make sure that I pay them full at the end of the months to avoid debt.

I believe using a credit card is a better idea because of the protection afforded by law. I always use a credit card and my wife is starting to come around to my way of thinking. But, you have to decide what is better for you.

Very good information. It makes me glad that I do not use debit cards. I’d rather use the old-fashioned credit card and write down every transaction in the checkbook (because it has already been spent!).

Thanks for the extremely informative post. I didn’t know almost anything about debit cards, apparently, before now. I use my debit card all the time, but I will definitely be a little more cautious and more aware of what is happening when I pay using my debit card. As for restaurants, is it any safer to use a credit card instead (due to the longer grace period)?
