All of these benefits are also applicable to debit cards.
I don't think you can do a charge back on a debit card. At least not here in the UK. Though you are quite right about crime etc.
I mostly use debit cards because I have no real interest in getting credit and dealing with debt etc.
I never know the status of debit cards. I assumed they were free riding on the credit card infrastructure (hence the zero fees etc). Is that not correct?
What‘s your debit card issuer? I‘d be extremely surprised if they don‘t allow chargebacks/disputes at all.
