In don't understand why the industry don't go to the European style credit card system that's nearly skim proof. IMO cost is no excuse not to upgrade from this insecure system of the 20 century?

real pain to fill up with cash in this plastic world. I see the day cash will be obsolete. IMO the credit industry or the government should be held responsible for credit card fraud when they won't update unsecured system.
Not sure if it helps but we buy those $50 shell gas cards from Publix for $40 when they have a coupon so we pretty much always have them. We use those at the pump along with our Shell rewards card and usually get several cents off per gallon.
