          Up here we're demo'ing XFS contactless with RA one-dee Five encryption

          It automagically backs up the transaction record so you don't need backups.

              On a side note I used my phone for an NFC payment at Subway the other day. You would have thought I had cockroaches coming out of my eyes. The girl stared at me and said "I didn't know you could do that!! How does that work!!??"

              We live in a very different area haha.

                    I think the whole CurrentC nonsense borked a lot of areas over. Does anyone actually pay with that junk?

                      @johnhooks There is no way I would use CurrentC. I'm not letting merchants use an ACH payment from my account, I always use a credit card purchase that way there is at least some fraud protection with it.

                          It's absolutely pointless without the PIN portion - so yeah.. it's to hard!

                            Yep, you'll never see me using a debt card - someone steals your pin, you are never seeing that money again!

                              Don't keep all your money in your debit account. That is what I do. I can transfer money in from the online portal as needed.

                                But I just use a normal CC and don't worry about it at all. As for paying that bill, I can do an electronic transfer from my bank to the CC - done.

                                I'm never worried about fraud or do I have enough money IN the account to cover something.

                                  Debit is significantly cheaper to the merchant. If you want to do your part to lower prices, use debit always.

                                    I completely know where this is coming from - but do you think enough people are doing this to make the vendor lower their prices? and even if enough people were doing it, would the vendor lower prices or instead just keep the extra profit?

                                    Around here about 2 years after gas prices started to sky rocket, delivery companies added hefty fuel surcharges. Now that fuel has gone down have they dropped them, or even reduced them? uh nope.

                                      Most of these companies are going to let it ride a bit before changing. They likely lost a lot when prices went up so quickly. and prices are unlikely to stay low. Give that kind of thing a little time to flow through the supply chain.
