Purchasing with a Debit Card can be considered more secure. If you use the PIN function, it can be very secure. Most establishments dont ask for proper identification when buying with credit. Keep in mind that MOST debit cards also contain a credit function. Most credit cards and debit cards are protected by fraud from the financial institution that issues the card. In this day and age, the money can be re-deposited into your account.
