content: Reminder to never use debit cards for anything other than withdrawing cash from a bank ATM. (And even if you do, check the slot for skimmers, and cover the keypad when you enter the pin.) For everything else, use a credit card. The difference is that if fraud is committed by debit card, your money is gone. With credit cards, you can decline the charge and it's the bank's responsibility to take care of it. (If you can't get a regular credit card due to bad credit history, you can get a secured credit card.)
