Over the years I've been hit by credit/debit card thieves, twice on HRPT and two other times so I've struggled with trying to find the least aggravating way to use my money safely especially on HRPT when we're traveling through so many states. This year I got a loadable Regions debit card and transferred money for hotels and gas when needed the rest pretty much paid cash. The only real draw back was I would have to go into the gas stations and tell them how much to program the pump for, if it didn't take it all it would only charge for what I got. Well that little aggravation payed off. I had 70+ dollars left on it on someone either worked or new someone at a McDonald's and they unloaded my card for $71 and change! I'll get it back but it burns my BUTT!!
Just wanted everyone to know and to plan your strategy that works for you maybe everything in cash, but then you have to watch your back. Saw one guy on Tour pull out a big toll of hundreds to pay for his room! Need to be more careful than that even if you're packing which most are, don't invite trouble. So what's your safe way to pay for stuff vacation or not.
