  >I get that you don't like or trust credit card I do not get why people insist on defending the credit card companies and their ungoing enshittification and changing rules and laws[1]. I would prefer you refuting my central argument[2]. Credit card laws and rules have many more problems than just chargebacks. For two decades online payment webpages stole credit card numbers and stole money from people. I could list many more documented cases. Elsewhere someone argues that debit cards are not credit cards. I agree. Of course Starlink forms reject debit cards too.

In this case, it's better than debit cards as you are not out of money until the bank reverts the fraudulent charge. Now with 3DS this is way better, but I am way wearier of using my debit card number online (so I generate temporary cards) compared to credit - if they steal the card number, there is no problem.
