Debit Card Rewards Programs
Like most plastic these days, you can get rewards programs on your debit card at most banks. Banks like to incentivize their customers to swipe their debit cards as “credit” rather than “debit” because they can charge the merchants a percentage of the purchase price like a normal credit-card processing fee, rather than a set fee (like $0.25 per transaction). In other words, it can be more profitable for the bank. You can check out the different debit card rewards programs for many of the major banks at smartmoney.com

Thank you Brad for including debit card rewards programs on your website. I love my program, which for a nominal fee, allows me to get some good crap totally free.
