bad things about debit cards is, they are not federally protected like a credit card.

So if you buy something big, use a credit card!!! So if the item is defective, or doesn't show up at the house. You have some protection, and can more easily get your money back.

With a debt card, you're pretty much out of luck. It's you against the seller.

yeah I use a debit card too...only problem is when you want to buy something you have to remember to deposit $ into your account.

one time I bought something at radio shack and it came to more than I knew I had in my account, so I had them run it as credit and went straight home and transferred some $ from savings ---> checking.


thank you online checking system thing.

I would at least get one for emergencies such as for using it to buy gas or whatnot. The only thing is forcing yourself not to use it for anything unless you really have to.

Sometimes its bad and make slife hard. But its one less bill to worry about. Especially when I get tempted by "special offers" wink wink ;)
