  Less convenient and less secure.

    We live in a fucking clown country the fact that the same company that makes the phones decides who can use tap to pay.

    Its like if visa was the only company that printed plastic cards.

    I mean you are right; however, the point about security can go both ways.

    Not worried about security, it’s more that I can’t have two of the same card at the same time

  I share a card with a family member. They have the physical one as it belongs to them, I use it on my phone

    You can’t just get an extra card for the account? My bank does offer this, and it’s how my parents have always shared their account.

      Sadly, I can’t. It’s not a legally shared account, and part of a specific legislation in my country (France). Basically, it’s tied to an account that can be used exclusively to purchase food at half the price during work days

      When it’s more convenient (ex: I’m already outside), I buy food for my family using their card and bring it back to them on my way home

        Ah damn, well that sucks. I understand, however unfortunate it might be, some people do have actual reasons to stick with vendor-specific bullshit.
