NOT something "Rare". And the store DID have lots of them. Not to
mention I bought it yesterday and am already using it. Not waiting a
week or more to get it. Additionally, everytime I order something
online, I still have to go to a store to buy a prepaid disposible credit
card, because i'm not stupid enough to give out my REAL Credit card #
over the internet. NOTHING is safe or secure on the internet, even
though these companies want you to believe it is.


Credit cards are not safe in stores either. Just look at what hapened at
the Target stores last Christmas, or maybe it was the one before.
My son for one had his debit card info stolen from them.


I rarely use credit/debit cards in stores too. I use cash, or if it's a
large priced item, I write a check.

I use my credit cards to pay utility bills, and sometimes at the local
gas station, because I KNOW them, and I dont always have enough cash in
my pocket when I need gas.

I feel much safer using a C.C at a local store than a large chain store
like Target, Home Depot, Walmart, or other such places. When I buy farm
items from our local Farm Supply, I feel pretty safe using my C.C. They
use the same bank I do, and if they were to cheat me, both I and my bank
would know right away who did it.

Another thing I wont even consider is online banking. What a stupid
idea! I may as well just post my credit card # on this newsgroup along
with all my other identity info, and say "Help Yourself".
