16. We don't use our debit cards unless we're standing at the bank's own ATM machine

When I went through my second debit card compromise situation then bank manager told me not to trust anyone other than the bank with my debit card. She went on to say, "With the debit card, you're putting your cash at risk. Use a credit card and if there's a compromise, it's the credit card company's money that's at risk; not yours."

We've followed that advice for the last two years, using our credit card for anything we don't pay cash for; never using the debit card except at the bank's own ATM. We haven't had another compromise.
