New credit cards contain a radio chip that can send a signal wirelessly to purchase items. The problem is that a wireless scanner can also read your credit card from a distance, without it even leaving your wallet or purse.

I was going to say, 'Wow, that will be handy,' but I guess it's technically unhandy.

95 percent of credit card owners are in debt, the card companys depend on you not paying on time and charging more than you can pay, they control interests, when you can pay, how much you can pay and how much you can spend, if i walked up to you on the street and told you" here is four checks and 20 dollars cash, you can only use the checks and cash in one store of my choice and and you have to pay me back by friday" i would more or less get a dont tell me how to do something or a go to hell look, but every day the general population uses the cards and allows someone else to control you. you wouldnt let me do it, why would you let someone you have never even seen or know control you by applying for a card. i laugh at the fools who have a card, guess what that 13 dollar mc Donlds lunch just cost you a leg and the grocerys and gas and x mas stuff you just bought, you just paid some exec his last house payment. pay cash and you will save alot of money, the main reason you got the card in the first place, right? wait.... you want to risk getting your card stolen and all of your money gone rather than carry a small amount of cash making a big purchase?, use a bank check or a cashiers check. and sec of all if you get your number or card stolen, your not responsible for the charges, if you can prove you never bought them, so why worry in the first place if your card get stolen, sounds like another feel good ploy the card companys do to pay for their car payment all the while going to the bank and smiling( suckersssssssss- under their breath)
