You're in the minority if you're coming out ahead of the credit card companies, who are making billions on others who aren't so sharp. But I must address a couple of your misguided comments. Just because we choose to use cash (or a debit card, which essentially is the same thing - we're spending money that we've already earned) doesn't mean we're lazy. To me, it means we choose not to spend our valuable free time constantly checking our rewards balances, making sure we made our required monthly purchase so a card's APR doesn't skyrocket, frequently calling the CC companies to try for a reduced APR or switching to cards with a lower rate. That's what I consider "extreme". Also, since when is abstinence NOT a valid birth control option?<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, my debit card has the Visa logo on it. That means I'm entitled to the same "protections" you speak of.MVPnoreply@blogger.com
