- Go to Credit or Debit
I try to keep anyone from knowing I am debeting directly from my bank account. But if they only knew it would be less than the effort to get it. Loll.

If I need to use a card, I always use credit. And, I always pay the bill on time so there is no interest charge.

Re: FSI
The difference lies in the amount of fees that financial institutions can collect from the retailers. The amount collected is less for debit transactions than it is for credit transactions. Therefore, some banks will make that difference up with fees to the customer who did the transaction with the retailer. Here is a nice little explanation of it all

FSI
I always thought in a 'debit transaction' the amount is directly taken off one's personal account ('Current', 'Savings' or whatever), without any cost to the customer, whereas in a 'credit transaction' the amount is debited to a credit account, such as Visa, adding to the credit carried and hence to the potential interest charges....But of course I could be wrong...

I think choosing credit is a smart move on your part.
