Simple.

If you use a credit card and something goes wrong, you dispute it and
retain the use of your money while the dispute.

If your credit card gets stolen and unauthorized charges are made, it
is the credit card companies responsibility to clean it up.

If you use a debit card is used, payment is instantenous.

If something goes wrong, you are on your own.

If the debit card is stolen and they drain your account, it's your
problem.

On ours, notification within two days of loss limits liability of loss
to $50. Only after 60 days does it become unlimited.

Whether that is part of revised law or simply a particular card-issuer
policy, I couldn't say, but it was something I checked carefully before
taking it.

I rarely use it, however, preferring the float of the c-c instead.
