You are paying for these "perks" and no I don't need insurance when I'm buying an electronic toothbrush from Amazon thank you very much.

Everyone is paying for the perks, since prices are the same for everyone, but only the people with a credit card are getting them.

You're paying for their perks every time you buy with a debit card - it's madness to use debit.

Unless you are getting a discount for paying with a debit card, you are paying for these perks too.

not typically unless you carry a balance. The merchant pays regardless if you use a credit or debit card, only the rate changes.
