[PRCo] Re: Fare Registers - Passenger Counts - Recessions Depressions

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Yes, Mr.Lybarger - the only fees they get are built in - nothing in interest.  
I also reserve one card for online or similar purchases to avoid fraud on 
the other most used cards and to be able to identify the card used in fraud  --
maybe once a year for online purchases here - I avoid it like the plague.
