Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I only use my debit card inside my bank at their ATMs. I've written about 5 paper checks over the past three years. I pay everything I can by credit card; items I can't use a credit card for get paid via bank draft (basically you enter the info onto the banks online bill pay system and the bank writes a check).
I NEVER allow a company to pull money from my accounts. I always push the transaction through my bill pay.
I check my credit card activity at least once a week and I have alerts for my savings accounts for all transactions more than $100.
I use a cash back card and have used those points to buy myself a tablet and a kindle. I have another $1000 due to me and when I finally see a discretionary thingy that I really want I'll use my points to get it.
