Depending on the store, I use debit card, if purchase is too big then credit card, if I go to an store like maybe Costco I would write a check just to give me a few days before the $$ comes out of my bank.  I also hate people that writes check, but only the ones that wait until they tell you how much you are spending to start looking for the check book to write it.  If you are going to write a check then have it out and prepare it while they are running the items.   I had an experience at a grocery store a few years back, from a lady that had done groceries worth $250 and waited until they told her the amount to get her purse, look for the checkbook (she had several) and then write the check, that was totally frustrating.

Never my debit unless absolutely necessary.   It is the least safe way to do the transaction.  And sinse I don't carry much cash, I use credit cards.

I use my debit card for small purchases and my credit card for large purchases. I also use cash for small purchases.

It depends on what I am purchasing and the cost; however I never use a check.

I use my credit card most for the reward but always pay in full to avoid the interest.

I almost always use my debit card as I rarely carry cash.

Credit card for any large purchase since you still get cashback and stuff so about 90% of the time while the 10% is cash for stuff I just get on a regular day like food etc.

I used cash and Debit most often. I never write checks. I think I may have written a check maybe once or twice in my whole life. It takes too long to write a check.

I use debit mostly. With credit it's easier to buy more. You don't have to pay for it right away. Do like  to get points discover is good for that.

I prefer to use my credit card because I'll get at least a few pennies cash back that I would otherwise not get using cash or debit. I do see the benefit of using a debit card though if you have trouble behaving yourself with a credit card.
