    Protections don’t work if you can’t even use it. It’s hardly crack dens either, a lot of pubs, restaurants, independent shops and takeaways I have been to have signs saying they won’t accept it.

      The context of the protections I’m talking about aren’t targeting food and drinks. I’m not worried about having to ask for a chargeback on a candy bar purchase at a corner store.

      Lots of online sellers are not far off from the equal legitimacy of a crack den.

      If I’m at a merchant and I’m concerned about their charging practices doesn’t accept the card, I can choose to not do business with that merchant. This is more applicable to online retail sales or perhaps travel/accommodations.
