• Master Debit Card - do you use it?

I've ordered both cards (debit and credit), but I never used the debit card. I am mainly in Germany.
I consider cancelling the debit card and using an additional credit card instead.

For me it seems that the credit card is the better one (more features, higher acceptance), I never faced a situation where a merchant preferred the debit card over the credit card or refused the credit card but not the debit card. There might be shops which refuse Master cards at all and accept only Girocards, but that's a different topic.

    @chr1s#286896 Yes I do, because in the Netherlands a lot of stores/restaurants don't accept creditcards.

      I basically only use my Mastercard Debit Card. For food, I use the credit card for cashback. (And if a debit card isn’t accepted I obviously use a credit card. Looking at you, random Starbucks in Milan)

        I can only get cash at the ATM with the debit card. The credit card ist not accepted to this Service. So i Need the debit Card. I live in north Gernand

          Does a Master Debit Card excist? In my dutch 'easy money' account I cant select a card like that.
          There is a Mastercard Creditcard or a Maestro Debit Card, nothing more.

          In Spain a lot of companies (Pharmacy, small Supermarket) dont accept Maestro nor Creditcard... So im carrying cash again, that cant be right?

            @New-Emerald-Civet-3103531154#289583 Maybe it's not available in Spain? These are the options I see in the Netherlands:

              @thijsoost#289584 Unfortunately the Debit Mastercard is not (yet) available in the iPhone app.

                @Bastiaan#289585 Ah, didn't know that! Strange that it has been available on Android for a very long time 🤔

                  Very weird, I dont have the option Debit Mastercard.
                  I live in the Netherlands, Spain is just for holiday.

                    Ah, not yet available in Iphone. How do I order one?
                    Maestro is not widely accepted in Spain. How do I pay? Cash feels backwards.

                      If I ask Finn it gives me a link where I can order the Debit Mastercard.
                      Next time when im in spain it hopefully works.
