"Moneo" can be used for small purchases such as soft drinks, newspapers or subway tickets.

I guess they can check their Moneo balance on their Minitel.

Except for McDonalds, toll booths (didn't bother to get an EZ-Pass) and snack machines, I can't think of any other plances where I use cash these days. So... what's the news?

"In fact, it's already been automatically added to 25 million credit cards that were up for renewal -- with the owners not always being aware of it, Fersztand said."

This apparently happened to me, I bought a hard drive at Frys last month using my Mastercard and it showed up as a debit on my bank statement instead of my credit card bill. No notification, no pin numbers, just signed the reciept like any other CC purchase.

I'm pissed and will cancel the CC unless the provision is removed where a merchant on their own can decide whether to make it a CC purchase or a deduction from my bank account without my knowledge.
