Not only that, a credit card allows one to keep cash, rather than spend it. I take the literal view of cash — that is green pieces of paper with dead presidents on them. Further, it puts another layer of safety between the buyer and vendor. I can stop payment on a credit receipt, but try getting money back when paid in cash.
I don’t ever use a debit/check card though, excepting at the issuing banks ATM. I have two checking accounts at different banks, one of the debit cards has never been used, so it should be pretty safe from being hacked.
exactly. i dont use debit cards at stores or online either
i use either paypal or a credit card for those.
