CLARK HOWARD - Here are 4 places you should beware of using a debit card at all costs: Independent ATMs - You run the risk of skimmers. While skimmers can be found on bank ATMs, theyre less likely because there are often security cameras in place. Pay at the pump - Skimmers arent the only danger to your wallet. The gas station will put a big hold on your account that could cause your checks to bounce. If you must pay with debit at gas station, go inside and pay at the cashier. When youre buying online - Credit card is a much better option. If you dont get your merchandise, you can do a chargeback during a 60-day window. At a restaurant - Because there is such high turnover at restaurants, you dont want a dishonest employee to get hold of your digits.
