Another reason not to use debit cards

Today's news brings us another example of why you shouldn't use a debit card to make purchases. Read this story, and imagine how different it would have been if the guy had used a credit card. Instead of worrying about making his mortgage payment, Mr Beane would have been disputing an obviously ridiculous charge. Stop giving strangers the keys to your bank account.

Oh, and kudos to Bank of America for putting a 3-day hold on the money when it was returned. Nothing says Higher Standards more than that.
