You have pointed out the reason why I prefer credit cards than debit cards. Also, you haven't mentioned the monthly/annual fee for the debit card. Sometimes, this is overlooked which unknowingly can destroy your budget. While credit cards also have annual fees, they are usually covered by cash backs.
ReplyDeleteTo get the most out of a credit card is proper financial handling. For spontaneous spender, a debit card would be a better choice.

Every credit and debit card I have charges no monthly or yearly fee. If you have one then you should dump it because of all the free ones out there
