The little chip contact on my debit card started getting flaky with certain machines. Finally, it wouldn't work at all, and I had to use my credit card to pay for groceries. I never use my credit card, I wasn't even sure it still worked. Then I had to remember to pay my credit card before the end of the month.
The only other time I replaced a debit card is when I lost one. When I chose the "lost or stolen" option from the dropdown, my card was immediately canceled, and I got the message I'd get a new one in the mail in a few days. I had to use my coin stash to put gas in my car, and I ate from the back of the pantry till the card showed up. Cut it close there, I didn't know that was going to happen, and didn't plan ahead.
Two comments for you:
Using your credit card for all that incidental stuff and paying it off in full each month is a good way to build a good credit history/score.
If you lose you card again, remember that you can withdraw cash without it by going into the bank.
Also gets you credit card rewards. I'd rather not have those transaction fees baked into prices but it they already are you may as well benefit and take back some of the fees they charge.
Yeah, that's an excellent point.
i always use the nfc, and the chip only as a backup. then i have a little cash for backupbackup
