    Seriously. I get free first class international tickets and a few hotel room nights paid every year with points and miles I get from credit cards, every year. And I use my credit cards for business expenses and get even more as a result.

    Why would I ever use a debit card? I like full reclining on the flight back from Europe.

    I would like to see some more meaningful metrics than offered in this headline.
