I do like the protections you can get with credit cards that you don't have with many debit cards.



I have had my credit card information stolen twice and used for purchases. Total cost to me was $0.00 Can't beat that. The only inconvenience was that once they had to issue me a new card, but it only took me a few minutes to update my repeating credits.



I carry a little bit of cash on me primarily for the office pantry and for the occasional diet coke at a gas station. Pretty much everything else goes on the credit card. Pay it off and we are good to go.

I've always preferred credit cards over the years primarily for the guarantees and safeguards they bring with them.

Paying off the full balance at the end of each month means they are totally free also.

Don't touch credit cards anymore.

Good advice, shame most people don't see that and just rack up the debt.
