<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3722986, member: 27832&quot;]I don&#039;t think it&#039;s evidence for that at all. We aren&#039;t talking about <i>sustaining</i> a cashless society, but about <i>establishing</i> one. Amazon realizes that we aren&#039;t there yet, and probably aren&#039;t extremely close; until it does arrive, they don&#039;t want to leave that cash money for other retailers.</p><p><br /></p><p>This might <i>slow the motion TOWARD</i> a cashless society, because having such a dominant player accept only e-money probably <i>did</i> exert some pressure on those who would prefer not to deal with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do find it odd that the article mentioned Amazon&#039;s established pre-pay option (&quot;give us your cash now, so you can buy stuff from us later&quot;), without mentioning the ominpresent Amazon <i>gift cards</i>, available at every corner retailer. I&#039;d buy one of those with cash if I wanted to leave no traces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
