I never use debit...Bullwhip wrote:My card never leaves my hand, I swipe it myself.
The only time I got ripped off was when my bank made everbody switch to Master debit cards instead of plain ATM (or pay stupid fees), and I used it to pay at a restaurant. You know, waiter takes it away, comes back later with a receipt for you to sign. Somebody used my number to order a couple thousand bucks worth of stuff from a truck stop pay phone a few blocks from the restaurant just a couple hours later.
So I swipe it myself or pay cash.
When my bank switched my ATM to debit Visa/ATM I called them and had my daily debit limit set to $0. So, the card still says VISA Debit, but I can't charge anything on it..
Debit is evil.
