The Amazingly Odd Things Americans Do

We Have Amazing Trust in our Credit Card System

We treat our credit cards like cash, handing it to anyone we need to as payment without a clue what they do with it when we aren’t looking. Foreigners are extremely protective and possessive of their cards in comparison. Where fraud, unfortunately, is common in the U.S., and a replacement card can be had in days, it’s a much harder process in other countries, similar to how cardholders were treated in the 1970s in the U.S.
