How are you liking Simple? It seems like a cool idea.

I use Bank Of America and their BankAmericard Cash Rewards card. Looking into a Chase account/credit card in the future.

I've only had Simple for a month. I have it linked to my paypal account and so far I like it. The Android app works great. Don't have an iPhone so I can't comment on how well it works on iOS.

Orca cards are awesome! I like that I can use the same card on the bus as the ferry. It's too bad metro is such *****.

Agreed. I think it depends on what routes you have to take. I'm usually only on commuter routes to & from work which have a way different, er, demographic (Metro & ST).

And coming from Metro Atlanta, it's nice to even have public transportation. Where I lived, it was a mess, and within Atlanta proper, MARTA was downright scary.

True enough, at least there is transit.
Also in a mixed blessings sort of way, it was metro that got me back riding bikes again. Seventy minutes from west Seattle to south lake union on the bus vs 35 on a bike, the choice was obvious.

I live walking distance from Walt Whitman Mall here in Huntington where there's an Apple Store. Just about everything I need to do is within walking distance from my house.

I've had credit cards since the 70's and never had a problem. I'm very careful with my cards and never let them leave my sight. That said, I always pay cash when I go out to eat. I don't trust waiters..

That is no guarantee. Several years ago we were visiting NYC - where I used cash for everything - except (long story why) for 1 day where I used a rarely used credit card at the McDonalds in Macy's, and the US Post Office. In both cases the transaction was done right in front of me. Next month I had a couple of fraudulent charges - both from stores in NYC - on my Mastercard. No problem clearing them. I called the fraud department and they looked up the file - the fraudulent cards had merely skimmed the CC# --- the name used by the funny cards was not mine so the charges were immediately reversed.

I have one debit card (chipped) from my credit union, and an Mastercard with AirMiles from the BMO. I pay for 90% of my purchases with these two. Local small merchants get the debit card (saves them the cost of the CC transaction fees) and larger purchases get the credit card so I get the AirMiles.

I have an HBC (The Bay) MC as well which is a backup, and used at The Bay for their points. Oh, and a Sears MC. Same idea as the Bay MC. And a Visa that is used just for business purchases... makes the accounting easier if I have all expenses on one CC.

All cards are chipped. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Hmmm. I don't think I've ever been curious about what cards people have.

I must go along with this ^^^.

Could someone please explain why they would be interested in what plastic people carry. I can sort of understand questions about e-devices...but plastic!?:confused:
