Obviously cash is the more private option, but I have had trouble getting away from the convenience of using cards. Is there a way to use debit or credit cards and preserve privacy?

I know I shouldn’t for privacy reasons, but I use credit for almost everything.
Of course the scam is that prices go up 3-6% to account for credit card fees, then the credit card companies give you some of it back. Of course if you don’t participate you are just paying higher prices for nothing.
In europe there is a max comission of 2-3% :p
Yup, a much more reasonable system and largely prevents the scam. That is why I didn’t use a credit card when I lived in Europe. IBAN transfers also make it feasible for online without credit/debit. However debit (or credit) is still significantly more convenient for day-to-day transactions in my opinion.
