Why credit cards and not debit cards?
3 comments

With a credit card, you're spending money that you don't have, but with a debit card, you need money in the account it's connected to.
Credit cards have rewards. Often some percentage back from the purchase. I have one that gives me 2% back on everything, which adds up. It makes sense to use it on every purchase and pay off the balance at the end of each month.
I can't pay with credit cards in a lot of places online (I'm from the EU)
