Russian banks are beefing up their attempts to promote credit card usage, by combining them with metro tickets, with Alfa - Bank this week joining the push.
Credit Cards are the Bane of Modern Civilization. It encourages horrible spending habits, digitizes the monetary system, and allows banks, corporations, and government to monitor your spending habits. Living in a credit world of debt is no joy. I can't even tell you how many times I received the random sms message from some lunatic who wrote a random number (happened to be mine) on loan documents so he wouldn't have to pay debts. Credit fraud will become more rampant. Metrocards will increase the amount of thefts, as I can imagine how many people dropped their cards already in metro, now imagine that being also a credit card. Good Look Society. We are all going down hill... Unless you don't popularize these things..... However, people seem to go where ever the TV and popularity goes. Wake up.
