Yeah, I don't know why debit is so popular. It's unsafe and credit card is just plain better in every way, as long as you pay the balance each month, like you'd be doing w/ a debit as you go anyway. Debit's basically only valid for people who can't get a credit card or who have no self control.

this is one of these things that is rather specific to america that i've always found bizarre. do you guys not just have visa debits through your bank? does your bank not just give them to you? do you still go to physical bank locations if you need your own money?

credit cards are fine and good, but they don't replace debit cards. if you're a student, for example, you're not going to have a high limit. most people here have them for emergency purchases. although if i ever visit another country i can just use my mastercard which is kind of nice
