For many years it has been known that restaurants can double swipe a card or copy of card when used to pay a bill.

That is why I do not use a card for restaurants. I always pay cash in restaurants for both the bill and the tip.

I used usually use my card only if necessary anywhere. For local transactions I use cash.

When traveling I use cash a lot and credit card sparingly. I've had my card compromised more than once while traveling for things like gas and hotel rooms.

Best of luck to you.
