@luna mere ownership of a credit card doesn't prove you're over 18 - I've had one since I was 13. Possibly the CC companies provide some age-verification service that debit cards don't? Under the hood they work very differently to debit cards, AIUI.

@luna even in Europe, some car-hire companies will only accept credit cards. @drmikepj explained the reason to me once, but I'm afraid I've forgotten it.
