some cards also have a single use number...
burner credit card # if you will...
so no worries if someone gets ahold of it...
it has already been used...

Richard,

Don't forget your Philly trip, sometimes these JA's wait awhile.

As much as I hate CC's, the best advice I ever had was never let anyone have direct access to a checking account. To this date I've never used a ATM to get or deposit cash.

I thought about that but I don't remember using it there. I took a lot of cash with me, wasn't exactly spending a lot either, just meals.

Paper money wont be gone in the foreseeable future. One on one deals require it, and those that shun the whole digital thing. I dread the day if they ever pull that crap. On the bright side, it would make it harder on drug dealers, but they always find a way.

If its like paypal, or any other way that it can be refunded its not very good. Credit card payments are even easier to get swindled. plus theres still a small segment of society that wants nothing to do with all this technology and they arent all Amish. Cash is cash, it doesnt bounce as long as its not counterfeit.

I cant say that it will never happen, but I hope its many years.

As long as there are girls willing to pull dollars from my mouth with their boobs I will continue to need cash. PayPal just ruins the atmosphere.

Yuck, and I'm not talking about the boobs either. Any idea where that money has been? :hangover: I recall a story where they had a study that determined a very high percentage of bills had cocaine residue.

90%, but the coke isn't something to worry about. There are other things worse than coke.

Ha!!!! LOLOL

Just to note my credit card somehow got hacked about a month ago. I had about $250 in charges from iTunes. I shut off the card and notified the issuer, charges were credited and I have a new card now.

"We are declaring war on cash," said Andy Gerlt, a spokesman for Visa.
