I was just wondering, when deciding to change to CC use over Debit would that mean that you leave your Debit at home? or that the Debit card is not used at all?

I actually carry my debit card but I don't use it???

I still carry mine. You never know when something is going to happen and you have to have access to cash fast.

I travel 3-4 days a week. I've been toying around with the idea of leaving my debit card at home. I'm afraid that if I do, I may need cash in an emergency situation.

Couple years ago a few days before Christmas someone used my debit card number. We never got a call about fraud alert. They spent 3000.00 all at Wal-Mart. Going to a different store each transaction till it declined. Now how can that not trigger something? The same card number being used a few times in Savannah while at same time being used in Philly? I no longer even have a debit card.

It's a multi-billion dollar/yr business.  CC fraud that is.  Just be glad it was done with your CC and not your Debit card.

I leave mine in my wallet in case of an emergency that requires a trip to the ATM, but it hasn't seen the light of day in about a year now.

If it were amex or discover, the fraud dept would have started ringing your phone ASAP....!!!

+1 Repo!  I just started that process today.  My debit card has been put into the drawer and my cc has taken its place.
