Do you prefer using cash, card, or payment apps?

[Jamie McKane]

When making physical purchases at a point of sale, do you prefer using cash, a credit/debit card, or payment apps like Snapscan and Zapper?

Card. Hardly ever draw cash nowadays if I can help it.

 

[Sinbad]

Payment apps
Counts as online, double ebucks

 

[ThatGuy_ZA]

Cards usually but snapscan at markets.

Apps

CC, not many retailers support Snapscan (or it doesn't work) and Zapper is only for restaurants...

Said cash, but it depends on the scenario. Shopping at Checkers I'll use my debit cards for the eBucks, in the UK I rely on Apple Pay with a smattering of cash for smaller amounts.

I've got apps like Snapscan and Zapper but they never work.

I feel nekked without some cash in my pocket.

Card, Zapper at restaurants.

Pretty much only credit card. Apps let me down far too often when I gave them a spin, so I avoid using them now. Hardly ever have cash on me.

Cash

Card. Hardly ever draw cash nowadays if I can help it.

Good excuse for the beggars too, "no cash"

I only use Snapscan for CW, and if I do use a app, it's FNB Pay, which doesn't count as online.

Card. - Wish the TAXI industry in SA would start using Pocket POS!

Using cash you end up with change which eventually go towards parking attendants.

Apps then Cards. Cash last

 

[Ockie]

I would prefer app, but not many places I buy from support apps like Zapper or SnapScan, so for that reason I put card.

I kack you not, but I got caught with this one.

Not quite a beggar, but 4 months ago I was in a restaurant, and one of those girls selling roses and little teddy bears and schit, came past. I politely said no thanks, and she asked for a donation perhaps. So I said, no cash. She pulls out a fcken card machine. So OK, I guess you deserve R20 for catching me out like that :crylaugh:
