  i prefer the debit card, i keep a credit card for emergencies only.
  I guess the best for you would be to calculate how much u can set aside each month and if u have multiple cards, see which one clear first would result in lesser interests paid overall.

  keep your credit cards at home, use cash to pay when outside.

  1000000000000000000000000000000% agreed >> best advice so far.
  
  With regards to debt, only one thing to do ... pay it off. Your benchmark should never be how much interest you can pay off, but how much you can actually pay off.

  the companies have not gotten a cent from me in interest or subscriptions since i got cards
  
  key: use them to pay for your other bills and stuff to earn points and freebies.. then pay the bill in FULL
