If you want the convenience of using a credit card, you should have to pay for it.

Criminals use "skimmers" to gather data from DEBIT cards used to buy gas. Then they come back weeks or months later, get the data provided by the skimmer, and create debit cards with your name on it and suck the money out of your bank account where you have the debit card.

Two guys who set up skimmers in Wal-Mart parking lots in the Southwest sucked $400,000 from debit card users' bank accounts in 9 months.

Crooks never run out of ways to cheat the honest people.
