Using your phone to pay is convenient, but it can also mean you spend more (www.npr.org)

Using a phone sounds inconvenient to me. I usually just pull my card out of my wallet, wave it over the terminal until I hear a beep and that's it. Worst case scenario, I have to insert it into the chip reader or God-forbid swipe it through the slot like some kind of Neanderthal.

I'm kidding, but seriously, that's easier than screwing around with a phone, to me.

Using the phone payment is a convenient to me as I don't have to remember the PIN.

What about the pin to unlock your phone? And at least here there's no pin with tap.
