Yea it seems like credit cards are much safer than debit cards if fraud ever occurs. You don't need to pay off your credit card until the end of the month. It is like a free loan for 30 days at 0 interest. Paying it off every other day would be time consuming and 0 benefit.

Most banks will give provisional credit for any unauthorized charges on debit cards, so I don't really get why people get so paranoid about using their debit card.

I'm not worried about getting the money back per se, but the money would be tied up for awhile and seems like a bigger hassle. At the end of the day, I see no advantage of ever using a debit card. Credit cards at least get you some sort of points or cash back.

I have a Chase credit card but I can remember the last time i used it.
I have a Credit/Debit card for my checking account if i dont have it in my checking account I dont have it to spend or i'm limited to spend.
this account has a nice balance in it so i'm confident I will not fall short on funds.

That's a good point - I COULD de-link my credit/debit card from my savings to minimize risk of being compromised....but as others have said why not use the CC and get points? Responsible use of a few credit cards also helps your credit rating (not that it matters to you).Belly35;1804084 wrote:I have a Chase credit card but I can remember the last time i used it.

From what I have read, there is a bit more protection and guarantees that come with a credit card vs a debit card when it comes to fraud.SportsAndLady;1804068 wrote:Most banks will give provisional credit for any unauthorized charges on debit cards, so I don't really get why people get so paranoid about using their debit card.
To me the biggest difference is if someone uses your credit card then you can stop that, file the claims and eventually get that credited off and no harm, no fould.
A debit card though..someone gets that use they can wipe out all your $$ you have and leave you with nothing. You MAY eventually get that back but in the mean time you are out all that $$$

I'm sure your wife is very intelligent but I don't think you're telling the truth how could any intelligent person support Hillary who has left four dead Americans in Benghazi and lie about the reason why who doesn't understand being the Secretary of State the code of the American Soldier to leave no one behind How could an intelligent person support Hillary who is taking money from countries that rape and kill gays and lesbians who could support Hillary for creating her own email server jeopardizing the security of the United States working as secretary she decides to use her position to take money from countries for her campaign what ethics no intelligent person could support Hillary Clinton who lies to Congress and the list of reasons why an intelligent person could not support Hillary Clinton could go on and on and on so I think you're not telling the truthZWICK 4 PREZ;1804123 wrote:No, my wife's intelligent.

My wife is Republican like her family, but she's not religious like her family. So Trump was the only candidate that wasn't a religious nut. She switched to Kasich after giving up on Trump. Now she's voting for Hillary just to not have trump.
