The country would be a better place if we all went to cash. Hopefully this accelerates the move.
For small retail things that works fine but its good to have a transaction record and proof of payment for some things like hotel bills, rental cars, etc.
I get 6% back on all grocery and drug store purchases with my AMX. 3% back on gasoline/diesel and 1% back on everything else. I get this back in CASH. No points or BS programs. When that cash amount gets over $50 I call and they credit it to my account. Over the course of the year it works out to HUNDREDS of dollars.
Credit cards should only be used IF you are going to pay them off EVERY month. Like I do.
My company does the same thing with all airline and other business purchases. They get back thousands of dollars each year.
Sounds Great!
"Honey, since we're leaving on our 3 week vacation tomorrow, I'm going down to the bank and take out $7000 for the trip."
And back in 2021 we spent a month traveling around in Europe. How much cash should I have brought with me? And in whose currency?
Up until a few years ago, my wife and fulltimed in our motorcoach RV. We would leave Houston in February and not come back until November.
How much cash should I have taken with me?

It would be a huge pain to have to use cash for many things.
