Real talk: you should never...ever....ever, ever, EVER use your check card (debit card in some regions) online. You should have a credit card solely for the purpose of making online purchases. The federal consumer protection offered from a credit card is greater than that from a debit card. Also, funds are not being directly withdrawn from your bank account and when it comes to credit card fraud your liability is limited to 50 dollars for any fraudulent use, whereas most debit cards will make you liable for all fraud if you fail to report it within 60 days.

Also if you have the option at point of sale, you should always select credit instead of entering your pin. This entitles you to the aforementioned federal credit consumer protection.

Whelp, cya.
