Cash back credit cards should be used for everything else and payed off in full every month.
I beg to differ. cash is king for supermarket shopping in this house. and before you say "it's not insured if you buy it with cash" I rarely buy anything expensive enough to be worth insuring. especially food.

I'm struggling with the idea that people actually use credit cards rather than debit cards for a weekly shop.
Skint people who are desperate for food maybe ?

Morning all - sounds interesting,mainframes/servers etc - BUT,what probably happened was this.Woman is standing at self scan inputting her PIN,Bulgarian looks over shoulder,eyeballs the pin,passes PIN to mate outside with laptop and hey presto.There are some details missing of course,however that is just what happened at out local Tesco.Made the local rag in fact.So the moral of the story is,dinnae let scrots/neds/pikeys/Bulgarians(apologies to 99.99999% of honest Bulgarians) look over yer shoulder!!!!

Or just cover your pin up like all the banks advise.

One of the most common point of compromise is at an ATM machine as it's the easiest place to capture the pin and card details. These can be copied to a phone top up card for example and used to withdraw cash as ATMs still rely on the magnetic strip. In this instance it's much more likely to be an employee or compromised hardware at the store or from somewhere else entirely at some point in the past. If the card has been compromised the banks will refund the money 99.9% of the time wether it's a debit or credit card. This is the reason the crime reporting rules changed, as it's their money they are the aggrieved party.
