Online purchases require a credit card or Paypal etc. parking downtown anywhere you need a credit card, getting gas what's better than tap and pump I've seen gas stations in the US that only have pay at the pump nobody even works there.

Like someone said the CC company's make enough money from those that carry a balance sucked in by those "free" air miles.
You can usually put the credit card down and at the end of the stay clear the bill… 100% with cash. I’ve done that before. The biggest thing is to get a receipt in case your credit card gets processed as a no show. Had that happen once.

You can get a visa pre paid cash card. Not sure what fees are on those.

I’m not thrilled with this added annoyance as a consumer.
