Re: Debit cards
PW, i would have to point out that if you are someone using your debit card on a daily basis, you are more likely to notice when it has gone missing and therefore are likely to report it to the bank in a timely fashion. as a result, you have more of a lead time when it comes to preventing checks from bouncing, getting hit with NSFs, etc.
now, someone who has a debit card just in their wallet but doesn't actually use it on a frequent basis (and therefore won't notice when it's not in it's designated slot)? they could be in for a world of hurt.
granted, i no longer use debit cards, but the one benefit i can see is if i lose cash, it is G-O-N-E gone. if i lose the debit card the bank has a policy that will cover my loses.
