His philosophy is that his debit card works just like your credit card. And there’s some kind of study that 60% or so of people tend to spend more of “someone else’s money” than their own, and their good intentions of paying it off the following month disappear because they ended up spending too much. It’s all about discipline I guess.

Well except it doesn’t.

Again it’s a discipline thing which is why he’s preaching debit card. He knows it’s not the same thing and understands the differences.

Credit card is a vastly superior option if you do it correctly but a lot of people can’t.

I do think credit cards lead to people spending more money (even if you pay it off each month).

I DO NOT think debit cards offer all of the same conveniences as credit cards. Rental cars are a big one (I realize dollar is one of his sponsors that says you can do their rentals with debit).
