I am like David, I do not use cash, I only use credit cards and as long as you are responsible with your finances and pay you entire bill every month you will beat them at their own game by getting money back or air miles. I have gotten 2 free trips to europe and 3 trips to southamerica thanks to using the sytem on my favor. I would not gotten the rewards if I had used cash or paypal and I am protected and I can dispute a charge.
