    Do people use credit cards rather than debit for cash back etc or because they don’t have to think about how much is in the account and is it enough to cover the spend? In other words buying time to work out if it is affordable? 
    Well it certainly is harder to keep track when you have a current account, DD’s coming out at various times and then a CC (and CC’s take a few days to show up spending). It’s more difficult to work out how much money you actually have. If it comes off a debit card you can see immediately.
