I simply don't understand this logic. I get it that your cc offers more protection... But I don't understand this thinking that using your debit card is SO much more dangerous overseas, as if you can't have the same problems in the US.

I've traveled throughout 30 countries, and I have had my bank info hacked twice. BOTH TIMES IN THE US. Not in France, England, Japan, Argentina or any other of those god forsaken crime riddled third world countries.

Be smart. That's all. If you're too stupid to figure it out you can't be helped.
