I like using my debit card, but as you say above, debit cards have some risk associated with them that you are protected from with a credit card. I have never understood why you are only liable for the first $50 of a stolen credit card, but if they use your debit card, you are stuck for the full amount. I almost always use an actual credit card for internet purchases, just ion case the number is intercepted or compromised in some way. Gary
