I can control how much is on it and if I lose it or the number is stolen I only lose what I have on it unlike a debit card that could clean out my whole bank account. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22703#post-466988 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:37:48 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Raleigh, NC 466988@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If it's a Visa or MasterCard logo debit card, if you use it as a credit card (sign instead of a pin) you get the same protection as a regular credit card. If it's just a bank check card you lose. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22703#post-466986 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:35:15 +0000 TheKnittingNinja 466986@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/a-warning-for-frequent-debit-card-swipers-531472/" rel="nofollow">http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/a-warning-for-frequent-debit-card-swipers-531472/</a></p> <p>The limited protection is why I have refused to have one so far. I would much rather use checks than a debit card because you have so few protections on them </p>
