- iso1631 1mo agoIn my country card fees are less than cash fees, so I guess that's a wealth transfer from card payers to cash payers?
- tiffanyh 1mo agoThat’s a great point. Managing cash for a merchant also brings real costs as well. You have to take it to the bank or pay a service to pick up cash. You’re way more likely to have “leakage” when any cashier can pocket cash. Etc

- SkiFire13 1mo agoThe costs of credit cards are higher in part because of the reward programs for using such cards. That's where the wealth transfer happens, and there's nothing like this for cash.
- kevin_thibedeau 1mo agoI stuck to a debit card for decades but got tired of the discrimination after it was rejected by the IRS as validation for COVID stimulus. Gas stations could be problematic. Canada could be problematic. Everything works with a credit card. If you are a responsible spender you may as well reap the benefit of the wealth transfer.
