For example, there are PIN and signature cards, depending on whether you're happy to use a code or want to sign the receipts: some older people prefer to sign as it's a system they know. You can also get debit cards that are backed by Visa or MasterCard although they're not credit cards... and there are now prepaid debit cards... hope this helps!
Also very interesting: Is an anonymous debit card an idea of the past or the future? Abroad with debit card! Halifax charges please! Assistance with bank debit cards?! How can I apply for a debit card outside the UK? Are the rules different for debit cards & credit cards in other countries? How is debit card cloning so easily done? What are the differences between credit cards and debit cards here and abroad? Why does Barclay’s online banking & Barclaycard online banking differ? Anyone seen the Hello Kitty debit card in UK? Paypal to replace using credit/debit cards?

But its true some cards do have special functions such as point systems for your favourite store, cheaper use abroad or even charitable donations with every use. But most people don’t really care what card they have as long as the account is right.
