When it first came out, I glanced at it and said “Nope. Not doing it.”
But when I researched it and saw how it works, I embraced it completely and am trying to use it where I can.
Not because it is whizzy, but because it is far, FAR more secure than using a standard credit card.
When my bank and my credit card company began pushing it on national television commercials, it sold me. Because it is far more secure than using a standard credit card, it would reduce the bank or companies losses from having to deal with fraud, which costs them a huge amount.
At the same time, I understand fully the drawbacks of a “cashless” society. But if I am going to use a cashless method of payment, why use one that is inherently flawed, rather than one that is far more secure?
You said, “Not because it is whizzy, but because it is far, FAR more secure than using a standard credit card.”
You bet! That’s the key ... right there!
