I have a visa credit card and received this email.
I don't want to use my debit card with amazon particularly.
You get a few added protections by purchasing with a credit card, and a mistake can't drain my current account in the same way as it could with a debit card, plus I get the benefits of a month or two credit for "free".
If I'm "forced" to use my debit card, I'll have to for essential purchases but this means that I likely won't be buying much more from amazon in the immediate future where I can find an alternative.

In Poland credit cards aren't popular at all and you just have separate account for monthly expenses with card attached to this account. For me it works fine. Don't understand the need for credit cards (I guess it makes sense for people living paycheck-to-paycheck).
