" In any case, use a debit card" REALLY ??? I would suggest rather use a Credit Card if, as is the case in my part of the world, you have +/- 55 days to pay off the Total Debt outstanding on that Credit Card. Using a Debit Card means that the money IMMEDIATELY leaves your Bank Account and goes into the Bank Account of the Merchant. Using a Credit Card means that the Bank is paying for your purchases while you Gain Interest on that amount until the final day when you have to pay the Bank. The Golden Rule of using a Credit Card is one must Pay the TOTAL AMOUNT outstanding on the Final Payment date and not just pay the Minimum Amount that the Bank states must be paid, which is Exactly what the Bank wants you to do because they can then charge you a massive amount of INTEREST on the remaining Balance.
