You are lucky MF , I have had my cards skimmed in
Bali San Francisco Here at home And Toronto which to be fair was a mass skim across Holiday Inn Properties Skimmers must think I am rich Not a problem resolving any of them but just a pain getting them sorted, but as this was mostly back in the dark ages everything had to be done by landline |

Me lucky - you unlucky ? Not sure but I was particularly talking about petrol stations.
I think I have had the odd rogue transaction appear over time (not skimmed as such I think) and credit card/bank sorted out in seconds - freezing card, sending a new one, sending me a report to sign, and reversing transaction . Not overly difficult it you have more than one car, a but of a pain but easier than going to an atm where there are more skimming and scamming than anywhere I think with using a watch rather than actual card it is safer (?) and it is a damn sight easier for sure than carrying a wallet of cash or cards - it is the future too So as to if I have been lucky or others unlucky not sure but still will never use cash at a petrol station - it wouldnt even dawn on me to do that (and my partner is in financial card transactions as a business so knows this stuff more than me and I have yet to see him with a £/$ paper money (also a lot younger than me and more modern)) |

Pretty sure that we put dollar bills into the self check outs at Walmart Cagan Crossings in May. Manned check outs are getting less and less.

We take a debit (chase) and credit card (halifax clarity), everything gets put on both of those, take a small amount of cash left over from previous trips $20 or so, if I need more will take more out at a chase ATM or wawa petrol station where it is free.
Recently took a trip to NY and everywhere is actively pushing for card, no-one was paying for cash, Disney are actively encouraging mobile order, as are universal, and I know that recently some places were not accepting cash as there was a coin shortage. |

I take cash only for tips in the tip obsessed culture. Mainly bellhops. Took $300 cash this time, brought half back and will use Xmas.

We take about $600 in cash for petrol and tips and just incase we go somewhere and the card machine isn't working, also load around half of our spending money onto 2 x fairfx cards and then everything goes on the credit card when there.
