Not everyone has these cards.
I have a debit card, but I never ever use the thing to pay for stuff wirelessly.
I do not trust them as I know that they are easy to get scammed.

I also think that using a card makes you consider your purchase far less... And this may lead you to overspend.
I LIKE cash. I do not mind having coins in my purse.
The other thing about having coins in my purse is that sometimes I will donate my loose change in one of the Charity shops or to the Salvation Army guy who stands on Broadway.
These cards may serve you very well, but they are not for everyone...and for a variety of reasons.
