How some of you lot here on VT can hold down a full time job, have a family, follow every type of football under the sun, watch all the best TV on Netflix/Amazon, queue at cinemas to see new release movies... And still have time to play **** computer RPG's. Full Time Job? My company pay me to be on VT don't they? As for football... meh TV... mostly meh Cinema? Once a year at best Family?

Then I got fed up of dealing with cash, so I just started using a card holder. Now i've just embraced mobile payments, and only carry my phone with no wallet. One fewer thing to carry around in my pocket and one less thing to lose. This is the closest you'll get me to using a wallet. It protects against skimming, keeps your cards in the one (physically) protected place, and because they're not moving around individually in your pocket, the black strip remains perfect.

While my debit card can tap for transactions, my old credit card cannot, and I have a bar card for my local which you pre-load. That gets swiped (some would say too often).

Stevo985 Posted June 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2018 I can't remember the last time any card of mine got swiped. It's always the chip these days (I'm assuming ATMs use the chip as well?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for all, if they are a size too small and person in question has failed to address a colorie intake / burn off calculation you are left with legs looking like there are 20 bald heads just trying to explode out of the leg. It all goes a bit Star Trek when they sit down as the strings of Denim can't take much more, they are going to blow. So not all. Same as leggings.

Well if the ATM uses the chip then it's probably only my bar card that gets swiped, and my bar card is my. most. important. card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2018 IN fact I know ATMs use the chip (at least on my card) because the chip on my card was damaged a few weeks ago and it wouldn't work anywhere, including cash points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you blow out the chip, whilst it won't work in an ATM (as per above), many stores will let you swipe and sign, in the good old fashioned way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, you want to try taking a payment like that on a phone and the customer has to attempt their signature with their finger. Taken a few like that recently, fortunately not had any recalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
