Re: OT Identity theft



I'm curious, why would one use a debit card rather than credit where you are
working with their money? Just pay it off every month. Another card thing
that has always puzzled me is why people pay an annual fee for a card when
they can get one that pays you 1% of all purchaces (See Citibank Platinum
Dividend card).? Am I missing something here?
