Call me a paranoid lunatic, but I refuse to save any payment information so that in the unlikely event that my account is compromised, I dont need to get new credit cards too
I mean I have them stored locally on my devices so they’d need to both have and compromise the device, which might be a real possibility for like a government threat but I’m not really worried about them stealing my credit cards.
Yep, or really any situation where someone handles your card. I’ve had mine skimmed a number of times over the years. I’ve seen some really convincing gas pump mounted skimmers too, not sure if I’ve fallen for one because of how realistic they can look.
I got my card replaced recently, same number except the last four digits. Easy peasy. Punched in all my details then had to go dig out my card because i couldnt remember the new expiry.
I did at one time, now I just remember the security code and look the rest of the info up on my phone in the off chance I need to actually type it in somewhere that can’t autofill it. It’s faster than typing it in if I’d memorized it anyways.
Edit: I should also remind that this is a comment thread on a meme about wanting to be lazier
You don’t have your cards saved?
I dont either.

Keep them in your password manager. It’s still more convenient but avoids having to trust random websites with your card info.

It’s more likely that someone will skim it while you’re paying at a restaurant

Hell no
Unlucky me has them memorized.
Then you also don’t have to get your wallet
