Yeah, sure. I'll let someone use a smart phone to take a picture of my credit card. That has to be the dumbest idea ever.

- gamache 15y agoEliminating the merchant account is the stroke of genius. The benefits will outweigh the drawbacks for many people, sellers and buyers alike. And if you don't want to give someone an imprint of your credit card, you can pay with PayPal, and you are protected against fraud up-front (as opposed to after the fact, as with credit cards). That is an improvement.

- 27182818284 15y agoWhy? Not only does the Obama campaign plan to allow donations like this, but the last time I went physically into an Apple store my purchase was made that way. A PDF was emailed to me for receipt and I liked it.
- fluidcruft 15y agoBy taking a picture of your credit card? Or a swipe attachment? There's a big difference between trusting a national chain and a small business which this seems to be going after. The Obama campaign better do anything it can to get money. After how much clout the "small" donors had during the health care legislation, no dollars are moving from me to them this time. SuperPACs maybe. Politicians seem scared of SuperPACs.
