    People should never use debit cards. Regular Credit Cards provide you cash discounts and points to cash redeem. Debit cards offer you nothing. Very poor financial decision to use debit cards no matter what. Plus you don’t receive extended warranties and almost no way to challenge purchases. Debit cards are the sheeple into stupidity.

    I actually received more points last year redeemed for services and cash back rewards from my CC then it cost me to have them. My debit card gave me back zero, nada, nothing. This guy is fooling you and I have to laugh, because he’s actually taking money from you. You’ve figured that out right!

      Points are not a very big thing in Europe, compared to the US. They are limits on the amounts they can charge merchants, which limits points.
