Two questions?? Amazon and what happened to post

[Dftodd]

Use phone to scan pump first? Is there a skimmer detector app that I'm unaware of? (If so, very cool and please share!)

I always look, but mostly use a little keychain jobber which bills my card, so I'm not sure if they can get my # that way or not.

If the skimmer uses Bluetooth, you turn your Bluetooth on, on your phone. then do a device search. May have to do pair, then device search depending on the phone. It will show all active Bluetooth devices around you. If there is a skimmer, it should be some weird numbers or similar. Vehicles should show up with an identifier followed by a string of numbers. For example my GMC shows up as GMxxxxxx. My ford service truck shows up as Syncxxxxxx. Phones show up as either make followed by numbers, or model and numbers

Cash is King:thumbsup:

"Cash is King"????
I think not!
I have one credit card that gives me back 5% on gas, groceries, and drug store items, up to $400 cash back each year..
Another is 3% back at building supply stores, hardware, office supply stores, and restaurants.
The 3rd one I have is 2% back on every charge.


I charge EVERYTHING I CAN, and play the cards accordingly.
I get at least $1000 total back every year.
Cash would be a waste for me.
I charge EVERYTHING on those cards.
I pay the balance off on each card every month.

I do not spend much time worrying about scammers.
That is a job for the credit card companies, since they cover any losses.

I had my CC card info stolen last month. Dufus used it to pay home cable bill, among other things. CC company may or may not go after him/her. I had a new card next day. Picked it up locally. Main hassle is finding all the little things its tied to that you have to update, like storage shed rental, cell phone bill, iZoom (toll road pass), etc... if you forget, you find out when that service is cancelled due to invalid card. Good thing to keep track of in the little red book.

When the zombie apocalypse happens, see how that goes... as far as I know, zombies only take cash.

They also take brains. Actually, I think they prefer those to cash.

Yep, pain to replace a cc.

Lets not start yet another cc vs cash debate. Plenty of those on here already.
