Maybe. Depending on the type of account you have, your card issuer may be charging you a fee for debit transactions. The fee for a “credit” transaction is typically borne wholly by the merchant.
I don’t have any fees for debit transactions, but my account has a ‘rewards’ program (for what they’re worth), but it only accumulates points when I process the card as credit.
So I think it depends on the account. Whether you care or not that is.
