The more I read of these type of stories the more I like the way I pay for stuff while traveling. All cash. Very, very seldom use a cc or debit card. It is just my way.
I agree with you. Though I often write out checks but, a lot of places will not take them anymore.
To the OP. Sorry for your loss.
I'm kind of the opposite....I pretty much use a CC for everything. I never carry a balance, I haven't for 20 years. My card's reward points are tied to Amazon, so I get a lot of things for "free" or at a "discount". Another advantage is in most stores I can return things without a receipt, just provide the card it was purchased with.
