That is what I've heard, but there also seems to be some consumer protection on debit cards.
I have set limits on my cards so that I get an E-Mail every time my cards are used. I haven't used the credit card for a while, but usually I get the ping on the debit card sent to my cell phone before I even get out of the store.
I've had the report for using the Visa credit card delayed a couple of days which I find anoying.
