Several people mentioned the risk of credit card information being compromised when using online services.

Doesn't anybody remember the TJX (TJMaxx and Marshall's) and Home Depot credit card breaches? Those were huge and involved millions of users who had used their credit cards in stores. Gas station pumps are frequently an iffy proposition for getting compromised.

Yes, credit card data breaches happen, and yes, your credit card provider will always reverse those charges. Not so with a debit card, but that's a different discussion.

As far as Uber and Lyft, they are good, solid options in major metropolitan areas. I'm not sure how many actual drivers there are in The Villages. I don't remember ever seeing an Uber or Lyft driver in my travels throughout the bubble.
