Debit Card

[ktheodos]

Do people still use these? Are they common?

[ricdsm]

I still use mine at the grocery and drug stores.

[Liquidfire_43]

I still use my debit card at times (although I have been switching to my credit card)... People still use them if they have bad credit (other than prepaid cards or credit line limited credit card)

[lguzman1]

I still use mine also.

[articx]

I am still using my debit cards.

I use my debit card all the time.  Sorry....but I don't have bad credit, that was a stupid remark liquid fire .  My checks go directly into my checking account and I pull the money out on my debit card.  Why use a credit card and pay intrest when you have the money on your debit card?

I use my debit card all the time also.  It is the easiest payment method.  I also wondered about the "bad credit" remark. I have all of my millions earned from Fusion Cash paid into my PayPal account and I have the PayPal debit card as well as a debit card from my local bank checking account.  My wife has some credit cards, but I cannot think of the last time I used one myself.  It has NOTHING to do with my personal credit though, that is for certain!

I use mine all the time This is what my credit union gives out

Sorry Liquidfire_43 you might be missinformed if you assume its because people have bad credit

I use my debit card for smaller purchases but like to use my credit card also because it gives me points for airfare which my whole family can use

I still use mine as well. However I may understand what Liquidfire was talking about..... If you have good credit, banks will offer credit cards with extra benefits, like frequent flier miles, cash-back percentage, etc. As long as you pay off that credit card, you will not incur interest on those purchases. Thus the credit cards with benefits are actually better to use than just a debit card, but that also means that the person would have to have good credit in order to have such a card and can pay the full amount off each month. If a person has bad credit, however, then a debit card is a better option in that the interest rate on the credit card is probably very high, no extra perks for using the credit card, and most likely the person won't pay off the card each month, so those high interest rates will get tacked on.

I use my Paypal debit card as a credit card for all my online purchses for my ebay dropshipping business.  I get cash back in my Paypal account every month because I use this debit card as a credit card.

[mrisha]

I use my debit cards all the time and it's not because I have bad credit.  In fact my credit is excellent.

[oldbuddy]

I just used my PayPal debit card to sign up for a new program that will stuff more money in there for me to use. I assure you I do NOT have bad credit.

[colbtrist]

I used mine all the time.

[teenangel]

i still use mine. you could use a debit card as a credit card or debit card and you are able to use them anywhere. its more easy then cash to use at stores and the money come out of your account.
