Although a debit card looks just like a credit card, it works quite differently from a credit card.
Difference Between Debit and Credit Cards
It is possible to use a debit card as a credit card in most of the cases such as in gas stations, restaurants, and many other merchants. But the difference between the both is that a debit card instantly withdraws
money from your bank or investment account to pay for any purchases made with the card, and thus, there is no credit involved.
In contrast, credit cards allow a customer to make purchases until a set spending limit is reached, after which a statement will be sent out with the balance and available payment options.
When using a debit card, the purchases are instantly deducted from the consumer’s account, and thus the consumer never spends more than what they have available in the associated account.

Difference Between Cash Advances and ATM’s
When you withdraw cash from an ATM, the amount is deducted from your bank account. On the other hand, cash advances are deducted from your credit line instead of your bank account, and carry costly fees and high APR.
