Use your credit card and EXPECT it to be dirty, and just stay on top of it and that's about as safe as it's going to get.

American credit cards payments are just showing intent to pay unless you have second thoughts. That is a peculiarity of US consumer protection laws, I understand. Credit card holders issued in other countries don't have that protection, even if they are Visa or Master Cards. A US debit card on the other hand, even if it is run by Visa or Master Card, is like cash. Once the payment is out of your hands there is no recourse.
