Times must be bad when you're buying your daily food with a credit card. :(

i buy almost everything with a credit card. frequent flyer miles!

Actually it's a debit card that draws directly from the bank account, which is more convenient than hauling around cash. But I didn't feel like typing all that in the original post.

I went to my regular lunch place today, and ordered the usual, and my credit card was declined due to "Duplicate Transaction". :sigh: My eating habits have triggered fraud protection.

in my experience, using a card is nearly always quicker then fishing for cash, having the clerk count back change, dropping some coins, etc.. stores in the US don't even ask for a signature, if it's a small purchase, these days.

Why must using a credit card imply bad times? I used to buy anything I could on my credit card. The rewards points bought me a free return ticket to Cape Town.

I use my credit card only in reputed places, especially for high value transactions. I carry some cash for my daily expenses, but a lot of people find it convenient to swipe their card (as some of them have already pointed out). So, it's just a matter of preference.

not with a credit card. bank debit cards, yes. totally insecure, sure. but damned convenient!

I prefer PIN entry, mostly because I'm terrible at writing my own name. I tend to get bored at some random point through and then just make random scribbles, and it can be at a different point every time I sign...I'm surprised my bank doesn't think someone is trying to forge my name.

Here we're starting to have NIPed credit cards; they came along the chipped cards.
Watched code never compiles.

Plus ATM fees to actually get cash add to the cost of using cash. On the other hand I get a small percentage of what I spend back when I use my debit card so I prefer to use that.
The ATM usage charges are negligible here in my country. If you use ATM machines of the card issuing bank, there will be no charge at all. If you use the ATM machines of other banks, the first few transactions (5 or so per month) are free and then they start charging you something like half an USD per transaction. Not something I'd sweat about. :)

Here it's often a few USD per transaction if it's not your bank's ATM. Luckily my bank refunds something like the first 20 per month (and honestly if you're withdrawing money that often you're probably not planning well). (Also: "ATM machine" is redundant ;P )
