There are times when it’s to your advantage to use plastic.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Information about your credit and debit cards
Step 1: Read the fine print
Read the fine print. Find out exactly what sort of fees you’re being charged. Is there a per-transaction fee associated with your debit card? Does your credit card charge a very high Annual Percentage Rate, or APR?
Step 2: Cover your charges
Only use your debit card if you have enough money in your checking account to cover your charges. Your bank might have high penalties for dipping below your minimum balance.
Step 3: Pay off immediately
Pay back money as soon as possible. If you do have to carry a balance, make sure you have a low APR. A small amount of debt can multiply into something large and unwieldy.
Step 4: Keep your cards safe
No matter which card you use, be sure to keep track of it and to keep the card number safe, and the PIN number for you debit card in a separate, safe place. Be sure to alert your financial institution immediately if your card is lost, stolen, or if you suspect it’s being used fraudulently.
Tip: If you use your debit card to make a purchase, opt to use it as a credit card, allowing you to sign for a purchase rather than entering your PIN, which offers you more protection in case of theft.
Step 5: Use in place of cash
Great times to use your debit card are when your bank isn’t in the area, meaning you’d pay a hefty ATM fee to get cash, or when you simply don’t feel like lugging cash around. Enjoy the freedom!

UK chip and pin credit / debit cards are insecure (11Feb10)
A not totally unsurprising development from those that look at security, the supposedly secure chip and pin facility in UK credit and debit cards is easily broken and fraudulent transactions are easily made. Unsurprisingly, the useless UK banks say it’s not our problem. The chip and pin system was designed to offload blame for fraud onto the customer away from the banks that enable the fraud in the first place. And now with RFID in UK credit and debit cards, fraud will be even easier and impossible to dispute.
Recorded from Newsnight, 11 February 2010.
