another caveat``

SDG — 4/20/2008 6:15:42 AM (archived)

I never shop online with my debit card. If someone were to steal it that money comes straight out of the place I pay my bills from. Too risky. A credit card offers a layer of insulation between the world an my bank account.

Somebody steals me credit card, I can not pay it until it gets resolved. Somebody steals my bank card and I can't help but pay until I get the thing cancelled.
