I got Debitized! I haven’t used a CC in years, but have been reading about folks using them for the benefits. Hadn’t thought seriously about getting one, until I saw your article. Since it makes the credit card work like me debit card, I can get the benefits for a rewards card, but have the cash come out as it’s been in the past.

I recently received a rewards card and immediately set it with Debitize. We have to replace the transmission in my wife’s card, so on the Debitized card it goes, I get the cash back, and the money comes out of the account. AWESOME system.

Thanks for sharing, and believe me, I will too! Now, I need to convince my wife to drop her old card, get a rewards card and Debitize it too. :-)

Thanks for all the great stuff you share!!!

I’m assuming it can also be linked to a savings account for oddballs like me ;-)

That sounds very similar! I’m sure you appreciate the visibility into how much you truly have in your bank account.

We move money out of the primary checking account into the secondary one for each purchase. Then we make a weekly payment on the card. It’s kind of labor-intensive, so it’s nice that the automated system is there.

No problem, Latoya! The service makes a lot of sense. It could give some people the visibility and safeguards they need to use credit cards no different than they would with debit cards.

That’s definitely one thing I don’t like about credit cards. I dislike the big once-a-month payments versus debit cards where you are constantly seeing your balance adjusted.
