I always use it to take out money for the week, it's easiest and there are ATM's for my bank all over the place so I don't have to worry about fees. @Ryan I need to cover my pin and transaction more when at the ATM.

That way if there is a skimmer it will be more difficult to get my PIN. I rarely use ATMs anyway. I prefer to use my credit card for most purchases, and rarely use cash.

It is sad we have so many people that insist on putting their efforts into taking from society instead of putting effort into providing value and getting rewarded for doing so. It is also sad that I am not sure who you need to be more fearful of the illegal scammers or your bank. I would not be surprised if banks costs consumers more with unfair and deceptive practices that thieves do. Thanks for the tips.

And I use my credit card almost exclusively for purchases. CCs offer better consumer protection.
