RE:”I pay cash in restaurants after having a prepaid debit card drained. At least it was only $100 and after a hassle I got the money back.
But I learned not to trust cards in restaurants.
And I never use a debit card linked to my checking account”

I use a credit card for everything and when I see a charge I dont recognize I call Chase and tell them to remove it, and they do.

Most CCs come with that type of protection.

And they pay cash rewards for charging, cash (the Federal Reserve)doesnt do that,

when I see a charge I dont recognize I call Chase and tell them to remove it, and they do.
And you keep on using the same card?
I've had two questionable charges in the last 10 years, and as soon as I called the bank, they cancelled my cards and sent new ones.
