Give Credit for Using Debit

Renting a car is relatively painless, and all manner of payment forms are usually accepted. You can even obtain a car rental with a debit card. Paying with a debit card ensures that you do not overextend yourself financially. Whereas using a credit card allows you to spend up to your credit limit, a debit card is directly linked to a checking account and requires funds in that account. Using a debit card will cause you to think twice before upgrading to a more luxurious vehicle or keeping a vehicle longer than originally planned. While enough insurance should be accepted to keep yourself covered, using a debit card will also help keep you from purchasing insurance you do not need. Consider carefully the benefits of paying with debit instead of credit when renting a car.

No, spendings of debit cards aren't reported to credit reporting agencies. However it's possible to have a secured credit card(backed by a savings account) and build credit with that.


Will it build your credit history if you are not a US citizen but have been regularly using your check card as a credit card?

Citizenship is not a factor here because debit cards used as credit cards is basically delaying the payment for merchandise. Instead of having the money withdrawn immediately (debit), it is delayed a few days and taken out then (credit). Also, you are not borrowing money when using a debit card, whether as debit ot credit, because you're using money you already have.
