Re: debit card / credit card

If you use Apple Wallet, your CC number is never revealed to the vendor.

Re: debit card / credit card

If you haven't seen Frank Abagnale's video where he talks about cybersecurity, you can find it on YouTube. He said "The debit card is the worst financial instrument ever foisted on the American public." He has worked for the FBI for 40 years investigating fraud - because he was in an expert in it.

And in case you do not who he is, watch the movie "Catch Me If You Can".

Re: debit card / credit card

a debit card does not have the same protections as a credit card. Anybody uses your debit card and the money is gone from your account. If your bank makes a special deal, you are lucky, bit I wouldn't trust it. Your money is gone - until the bank replaces it.

Never use a debit card to shop on the web. You can challenge any charge on a credit card, even the ones you make if you get unsatisfactory service, and you have not had any money taken from your account.
