While I am happy to use cash or checks when offered a discount, such options are very rare in my experience. Would my using cash/checks otherwise lead to lower prices at stores? Not unless everyone did it, I suppose. So, what's the point? The credit card companies have a stranglehold on the market and discourage discounts for cash from merchants.rmay635703 said:??? I hate to break it to you but RFID can be copied (both gen 1 and gen 2), its just an easier method because you don't have to swipe ???
To be honest, the 1-4 % tax that credit cards levy on every purchase and then the fraud associated makes it seem like perhaps the 25 seconds spent on providing "cash" might be worthwhile most of the time with "credit" reserved for travel and large purchases?
many businesses around here are going BACK to checks & cash because of credit card costs and fraud...
