but i've noticed people lateley going into coffee
shops buying $2 coffees then
debiting them,
or ordering a $6,7 take out meal and puting it on visa?

I carry a couple hundo, drivers license and debit card.

Gas, bar tabs, eating out on card. Cup of coffee/bottle water/etc pay cash. If it's less than a $20 bill I pay cash.

Most banks will have a "LIMIT" on the number of
FREE
transactions you can use on your debit card...
watch it this month and tell me if i'm wrong..

(unless maybe you have min thousands sitting in there acct
generating min interest)


If you're charged $ 20 in fees
per month x 12 or $240 per yr for an ex
, why not take out the cash?

yeah that way i can understand...i don't have a debit card...just an atm card...only use it when i am abroad where a lot of countries are still primarily cash tendered countries...i use a credit card for every purchase in usa...pay the bill off at the end of each month

i use visa as much as possible cause i collect my points...

Only carry about 100, I use debit for most purchases, no fees on debit use, their is also no fee on cash withdrawl at Publix supermarkets in my area.

I use a combination. It really depends on what my plans are. I will try to pay cash frist, but some places I go are cash and carry, so I have to save the cash for those places. It really depends. I prefer cards at markets, restaurants, etc... It is a lot easier if you keep good records.
