Advantages: no dud bank notes, open some doors with it

Disadvantages: cashiers can make mistakes, can be cloned

Switch - what a nightmare! Ok its great to pay by card and not have to carry cash but this green card can be a big hassle.

It is a bit too easy to use and it can take a day or so for the debit to hit your account therefore you could be spending what you don't have. That is a bank managers dream - they live off the massive fees they hit you with.

Then you get the stupid cashiers who can't operate the card machine. I've got my card accidently swiped twice a few times meaning that two amounts come out. That means you have to keep receipts, check bank accounts and in some cases argue your case with the cashier when things go wrong.

There is also the case of the signiture - My signiture is different every time and you get the cashier examing your card like you are some sort of criminal.


D'oh! - i'll just use cash - it's easier.
