If you use a debit card you are spending YOUR money.  If you use a credit card 
you are spending the CREDIT CARD COMPANY's money.  Same thing if someone gets 
unauthorized access to your card.  Do you want to risk YOUR money or someone 
else's money?

Years ago someone got my wifes debit card number and drained her bank account.  
She hardly used the card and never did figure out how they got it.  The debit 
card company eventually did put the money back, but it took awhile and they of 
course have their big paragraph of fine print so YMMV.  I like it a lot better 
when the charges show up in a statement and we can dispute them before we have 
to send payment.
