This helps prevent identity theft and protect your assets. While you're almost always safe with a large site like Amazon, if you shop on smaller, lesser-known sites (which you're sometimes led to by price comparison sites), they are more vulnerable to hacking for a variety of reasons. You have very little protection with your debit card (if you wait too long to report losses, you will be liable), but if your credit card numbers are stolen, you're only liable for $50 of losses under federal law.
