As a Eurobilltracker.com member who mainly uses notes for any shopping when I can I’m curious to see if, mainly since Covid, people still use cash or mainly use card (Either plastic or Digital) ?
I had never heard of Eurobilltracker...
"This is a public poll: others will see what you voted for." - this is inappropriate for such a poll.
I use cash as much as possible
Both, but I tend more towards card. I usually don't have cash on me, and there's only 1 place (the local chipper) which I will prepare for. If I'm in a town/city and go into a place that doesn't take card, I leave. I'm definitely spending less having no cash on me, whereas I believe some people end up spending more. My spending habits have changed though, so that's a consideration.
I know people say cash is king and it'll never be gone, but I wouldn't say never. Won't even be cards in the future, we'll have NFC eyes. Transactions will look like they do in Cyberpunk with lighty up eyes to show the transfer. I may be playing too my Cyberpunk...
Is it possible to edit and change that setting? What exactly is the concern?
Give over. A little picture, often used by dozens of others, appears beside the vote. It's hardly breaching GDPR.
Cash as much as possible. Was abroad there for a while and the only thing I used my card for was a train ticket
Love the way in Luxembourg the ATM s let you select how many 100e notes you want and how many 50s
Cash 90% of the time.
What will all the lads in the phone repair shops etc do? They have to take cash or else they'll have to contribute towards something and pay tax. Won't somebody please think of them?
I use card to pay for everything, I spend less money and it's so easy to keep track of the spending with a banking app
I just use my phone for pretty much all purchases these days. My barber only takes cash and I pay my cleaner in cash, the only reason I ever visit an ATM.
I mainly use card. I only really use cash at places that doesn't accept card such as a barbers or take-away.
In general I find it easier to save when I'm using my card.
I'm card, Revolut all the way, just got back from a trip to Greece, never used cash once, once in a blue moon I might use cash, but I don't carry it,
Card always. Easier for me & I have nothing to hide. If a business does not accept card, I will move on and find one that does.
Cash is great for tax avoidance, that's the only benefit to those that only accept cash.
Mostly cash, but card in Tesco mostly because of the separate queues for using cash and card nonsense that some genius dreamed up.
Card always, it's far quicker, having to end up carrying coins or €10/€5 notes is a nuisance. Not having to bring cash with me feels wonderful.
Why? 🙄
almost always card. the whole 'cash is kind' stuff usually belted out by boomers is a load of nonsense. don't think we should get rid of it or anything, but i also work in a small retail store & the amount of people who do be buying something for like €1.50 & paying with a €50 note is insanely frustrating, especially early in the morning (which is prime boomer time) when there's isn't huge supplies of cash in the till.
It's a controversial topic.
Reverting to cash lately. I spend less when I use cash.
Mainly card but for small purchases like a coffee or a paper I'll use cash.
If I'm going to the pub I'll take X amount in cash and leave the card at home. No chance of staying later than I intend or getting caught up in "rounds".
Both. Restricting yourself to one of the other seems needlessly making life difficult.
Not to mention a certain indigenous ethnic minority whom we're not allowed to talk about. The discrimination just never stops.
Mostly card these days myself. Cuts down on the need to have jars of small change around the house which I then have to bring to one of those cash conversion machines in Tescos. Although that is one of life's little pleasures when you realise you have about 300 odd euro saved.
Interesting to see the number of people who say that using a card saves them money. Why is this? What are you going to be buying with cash that you wouldn't buy with a card?
Yes unless there are lots of offers for using a card or something then it doesn't really make sense. I've started using card more often and it makes it so much easier to spend and consequently spend more.
Cash for when Im out and about as I find I spend less.Only use the card for online stuff like booking plane tickets etc.
Use both, but I prefer to use cash. Easier to control what I spend.
Card mostly. A couple of pubs I go to would have been cash only up until recently. Only time I use cash now is going Dalymount, chip van, half time raffle and programmes are cash only.
I use a card a lot on line, Amazon don't take cash. In shops always cash.
