You can set up automatic payment for your credit cards if you like, no involvement. I don't because I like to review each line item and control when I post the payment, but it's possible. A debit card is basically an open port into your bank account. A credit card is a firewall which buffers all withdrawal requests for a month (or so) until you approve them (or reject any fraudulent ones).
