In that case what is the difference between credit and debit usage?

In practice, here in Europe credit cards are often worse because the seller can add additional charges after the transaction using just the CC number (even with chip+pin CCs) whereas this is impossible with a chip+pin debit card.

And the CC "protection policies" aren't that useful here, in my experience it's near impossible to do a successful chargeback and there are few cards with high cashback.

Arbitrary "protection" policies anyone can implement, powered by Visa and Mastercard?
