No check to pay to the credit card company and no interest
payment rip-offs by the credit card company.

An auto-payment credit card has neither of those, plus you get free money
for 30 days, fraud protection, extended warranties, rental coverage and cash
back. I have no idea still why anyone would ever use a debit card.

And frequent-flier miles! I average a trip a year on FF miles from
credit cards, most recently skiing in Aspen CO.

(On the return to Boston, I was in Economy Plus, which I have never
achieved when paying for the ticket!)

I've never seen a mainstream credit card company that charged interest
when the full balance is paid off every month on time. If you request,
the credit card company can directly pay your full balance automatically
on the due date each month via EFT from your bank account.

You then have all of the benefits of a credit card (no cleaned out
checking account/bounced checks if there is card fraud, full dispute
rights, 30+ day 0% interest, rewards etc) with your stated advantages of
a debit card.
