It's a no brainer for us.

Plus, a debit card takes the money from your account IMMEDIATELY!
A credit card leaves the money IN your account until you pay the bill at the end of the month. It's called 'float'.
We have an interest bearing account (not much, but a little) in a credit union.
Why not take advantage of all the benes you can?
