I always use my old swipe eftpos card in the selfpayment machines as skimmers exist and the swipe eftpos card is the easiest to replace and I dont lose out on shopping online or have to update cards with sites if it gets compromised. Sure, I lose out on the true rewards, but until they seperate the chip and mag stripe slots out so that you can use the chip without the stripe going anywhere near the machine, I will rather not risk it. ATMs need to do the same thing too since they are a prime candidate for getting skimmed.

 

I'm the opposite. If any of my cards were to be compromised I would prefer it be my credit card. That's not my money and there is usually better protection offered from credit card providers. If your Eftpos card is compromised and someone starts to make withdrawals you will never see that money again.
