I use my credit card for almost everything. It's the eBucks that I earn that keeps me using it. And my c/c is okay. I just put the money back in at the end of the month.

So I hardly ever have cash in me.

So much so that when I was in Musica (some time back) buying a CD, the cashier rang it up and asked me for 5 cents, I didn't have the money to buy it and could not use my card. Was so embarrassed when a kind lady behind me offered the money to pay for me. Will never forget that day or act of kindness.

What do you do if they steal your wallet. If your card is cloned its easier to get the money back than with cash.
