To be fair, debit card offers a few advantages over credit card:
* Debit card allows to set granular spending limit (e.g. $100 per day). So you can protect the potential amount that a fraudster can spend with your card.
* You can set it up to send transaction details via email on every purchase. This is a lot more convenient than, say, checking the credit card statement at the end of every month.
I actually prefer using debit cards for daily expenses. For me, credit card is almost exclusively for online purchases.
