We never use them as credit card in France. It took me a loooong while to understand, when I lived abroad, why the cashier would always ask me a question when I used my card to pay. In fact I understood later that they were asking if I wanted to use debit or credit. And that felt really odd to me.
And it still does. I still don't know what would have been the point to make a loan to buy a bag of potatoes, but well... Cultural differences.
- chrisper 10y agoThe loan comes with a lot of benefits. (e.g. point rewards, protection, etc.). Why is it bad if you loan money if you can pay it back right away? I am sure you have asked your friends for money once when you were out and ran out of cash just to pay them back later that evening?
