75 Cents at 18.99% Please

Coca-Cola is going to roll out vending machines that accept credit and cards. Not just that, but a touch less way to pay for a Coke using a credit or debt card.

Because, you know, that's exactly what we need. An effortless way to spend money, or worse, go in debt for a refreshing, calorie-ridden, obesity causing, tooth decaying carbonated beverage.

If it were beer though, you bet your ass I'd be all over that.

This is not even funny! What's next. I new it was crazy when your able to charge a Mcdonald's meal. But come on a vending machine.
Not because it is available means we have to use it, I hope most people see it that way.

If you're going to buy it anyway, why not get the cashback rewards? Just like any purchase on credit--you have to use credit cards, and make sure they're not using you.

Okay, do you think I have a problem? A $0.75 coke purchase would yield less than 2 cents in cashback rewards. It shouldn't be worth it, right?

But I want that $0.015, dammit!

To be honest, I'm not going to change my spending decisions one bit just because everything is available with a swipe of my card .. I agree with Claire, if I am going to get it, I'm going to get it. And I may as well get my rewards. And I practically never have cash anyway so I may as well not die of thirst because of THAT. That'd just be silly.
