Should Hegemony Switch to DEBIT?

[hegemony]

please help me decide...

[LadyRelm2]

DEBIT cards offer very little benefit, actually. You can still overdraw your account with them and rack up exorbitant fees. Personally, I think it should be illegal for a bank to charge a $35 overdraft fee for your debit card overdrawing your account by a $1. (Note, this has happened to me...) I have had many arguments with the bank about the way they process debits, show your debits online, and the whole process of how the POS merchant controls the process and can tie up your bank account forever, if they want.

 

Besides, with the economy going to hell in a handbasket, might be safer to go cash only.

 

JMO...

You will overspend using EVIL CREDIT CARDS

 

You won't get 10%---15% "CASH" discounts

So stop overdrawing your account.

[hegemony]

looks like "NO, DEBIT cards suck" is going to win...

[Krynn]

Debit cards are t3h sux. Nothing more to add to that.

 

But we already know this.

[GEORGE]

I voted for what is a DEBIT card? because I was never special enough to need or want one I guess...I wanted to be different

[haydeno]

Credit is best but if i got an offer for 10-15% cash discount i would make an exception

[Tate74]

Some people just don't know what sarcasm is do they?

[GEORGE]

TAX EVASION is one reason for such a high "DISCOUNT"

[GEORGE]

1.5%--->3% TAX DEDUCTABLE FEE (even a 5% FEE) does not equal a 10%--->15% "CASH DISCOUNT"

[CIO]

Oh, Hege, you make it so easy for me to be naughty in polls.

 

YES, credit cards are evil [ 3 ] ** [13.64%]

I don't even have one. I'll need to request one from my CU.

 

Debit cards sound like such a great deal for consumers. don't you think?

[more credit less cash]

I'm voting YES to debit card, just because OP is hegemony

 

hegemony should be our official guinea pig in the experiment to see whether a credit-savvy consumer can withstand the dangers of debit cards for a reasonably long period of time.

sounds good. I keep getting yelled at about how debit is so much better than credit cards. these people are surely smarter than me and I should ask how high when they say jump.

[CaughtShort]

You should go with subprime CASH before you go with DEBIT.

 

After all, say your cash is stolen...you're only out the cash.

 

If your debit card is stolen your checking account could be wiped out.
