Or maybe...You have people who just want to get in, pay , get dropped off and not have to give bank info via smartphone.

I prefer to use cash, as well as many other people.


My bank doesn't need to know where I spend my money, and I don't need to finance a cup of joe at Sheetz for 20 years at 18 points.

That's why I always pay cash in bars.

You are missing out on 2% cash back on your purchases and autopay is a thing.

I'm not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious - why? Does where you spend money have effect on credit scores?

Thanks,

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure the banks don't report who you spend money with to the credit agencies (yet), so it wouldn't directly affect your credit scores. But they troll their own data for their own purposes and I'd rather they aren't able to profile me accurately.

Studies have shown that people spend more when paying with plastic.

Also part of my reasoning for paying cash in bars. If you go in with $40, you can still walk out.

Yeah, really no reason not to for recurring bills though.

Where I drink, I'd be crawling out if I spent 40 bucks.
