Business Insider just published an article, citing that consumers have been abandoning their credit cards, and pushing $100 Billion dollars worth of spending on…wait for it…DEBIT CARDS.
That’s right…Visa found that their credit card usage DECLINED by 21%…while debit card usage INCREASED by 12% year over year. And the first time in almost EVER…debit cards have begun offering rewards, similar to that of a credit card.
However, even though a debit card offering ANY amount of money back is rather remarkable, I do want to say this:
There are still so many DISADVANTAGES of using a debit card instead of a Credit Card…and it’s for these reasons that I almost NEVER recommend them for anyone to use on a regular basis:
One, Credit Cards are so much better for security - HANDS DOWN. Even though Debit cards are getting BETTER, they still have a long way to go…anytime you use a debit card, you’re basically giving the entire world direct line to your ACTUAL money sitting in your account - and, in the event of an error or an overcharge, getting your money BACK on short notice can be difficult since the money is taken directly from your account.
The SECOND reason I never use a debit card is because it doesn’t have the PURCHASE PROTECTION BENEFITS like a Credit Card has. See, many credit cards will offer this as a perk of using their service…and this should be reason enough for you to start charging everything on your credit card.
The THIRD reason I don’t use debit cards is because the rewards the offers just PALE in comparison to that of a credit card. Like, none of the debit cards listed offer a sign up bonus…and with a credit card, just sign up, meet the minimum spend, get a whole bunch of points…and use that for free travel, hotels, or cash back…all for using this instead of a debit card.
And finally…the last reason to use a credit card Is to boost your credit score and credit utilization. In the United States, your credit score is a huge factor in determining whether or not you can get a loan to buy a house, car, or any other purchase you want to finance…it also determines what interest rate you pay, and whether or not you get a low interest rate, or a high interest rate.
So I’d like to think ALL of those reasons I just mentioned are fairly compelling just to use a credit card for EVERYTHING, and to ditch the debit card and cash altogether. HOWEVER…there is FINE PRINT to this, where sometimes it’s BETTER not to use a credit card….and these are my thoughts:
You should NOT use credit cards to rack up debt IF you don’t have the money to pay it off, in full, when it’s due. You should never pay a single penny in interest, you should never increase your spending just because the money isn’t immediately taken out of your account, and you should have the cash available to pay it off, in full, at all times. Basically, just treat your credit card like it has a direct line to your bank account - if you can’t pay it off immediately or have the money on hand to pay for something, then don’t do it.
The REASON credit card companies offer such good rewards is because MOST PEOPLE DON’T DO THIS…and it’s PROFITABLE for the credit card companies to pay a small portion of their users really good rewards, just to lure everyone else in who will never use them, or pay a lot of interest. This IS an opportunity for you to make money off credit card companies…but, you also have to acknowledge that most people WON’T use it correctly…and that’s how companies can keep these rewards going in the first place. Be smart!

Eww I stopped using my debit card because I don’t want to touch those filthy keypads
A tragic fortuitous event caused me to max out my credit cards and that seriously impacted me financially… I was watching a video on YouTube about how to fix your bad credits and I stumbled upon this credit repair team (JOHNNIEHACKSLLC ORG…OR TEXT: (951) 376-4173 ) in the comment section. At first, I was unsure but I was at a dead end and I needed a solution for my crisis and I figured things couldn't get any worse… So I decided to give it a shot and text the credit repairer and I'm glad I did because everything turned out great, my debt was fixed and I'm living a life without financial worry; which is literally the worst circumstance ever. Technology is advancing and solutions are rapidly being created to solve numerous problems and I'm glad credit repair happens to be one of them… I decided to share this, so people currently suffering from my previous predicament can get a solution……JohnnieHacksLLC .Org
Everyone here should check out Pi crypto, if you don't already have it

I really don't understand this thing. Why y'all use these when the security is questionable !? And when u could be charged more than what u bought because the merchant can put any price and has Ur info already
You the man Graham.. I just subscribed.
Great information 👍 for everyone who thinks credit card is free money, and how we can use them properly!!! Thanks, Graham 🙏
In essence some debit cards have sign up bonuses. If you get 200-300 for opening the account you’re getting a debit card with it.
Need a another channel to watch during quarantine? You’ll love my content🙏
Hi can you please do a video on UK brick and mortar stores £500 voucher.
How does debit card usage affect credit scores compared to credit card usage?
I just got Cc from legitcc on wickr
its because when there is economic uncertainty, people are smarter about handling their money. Which shows that most of the time credit cards are just stupid.
I like this guys videos, but hes so off base with promoting credit cards.
Need another channel to watch ? Check out some of my content!🙏

In Canada its much safer to use debit cards compared to American debit cards.
I recently tried applying for the chase sapphire preferred card and I got declined because of my length of credit and credit limit even though I already have a chase unlimited miles card. Maybe it the sign of the times with the pandemic. My question is how long should I wait to apply for another card and should I try again for chase sapphire card or a different card?
Bring it on. I'm ride or die for VISA debit lol Though I will say I am one of those weird people that have a good credit score but can't get a credit card.
mute and read the comments ,better than seeing all those ads,
I enjoy kittens playing with like buttons so I smashed it.
Doesnt m1 offer a version of what you said at the end of the video for investing? M1 spend or I think they're still working on the debit part anyone else know ?
I understand why it is useful to have a credit card, but now I have to find a way to overcome my fear of using one.
My local Altra Federal Credit Union was paying 3.5% on checking account balances up to 15,000. That has come down considerably now that rates are at 0.
