Comment on My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoMy debit card gives me a better interest rate on checking and savings which is way better than points or cash back. The only difference in fraud protection is the money may not be immediately available that was fraudulent, which can be a problem. Credit can be a problem until you get a mortgage though without credit cards.

Keep the money in your bank account with interest, then pay the credit card in full every month. You get both benefits.

To be fair, high yield checking accounts sometimes require you to actually use the debit card

The rate depends on debit card use.

Oh sure, you get up votes when you say it

Sounds like someone is fraudulently using your debit card comment and reaping all the benefits. This wouldn’t have happened if you’d used a credit card comment instead.
