The alternative, cash, cheques, and debit cards, are just so inconvenient. My bank absolutely takes me to the cleaners for fees when I use my debit card and cheques, not to mention the hassle of actually having a chequebook handy.
I really dislike carrying cash, too. Several months ago I had my locker broken into at the swimming pool and had around $100 stolen from my wallet. It was easy enough to cancel my credit cards, have any unauthorized charges reversed, and have them re-issued, but the cash was as good as gone.

And mail order without credit cards? Forget it!
