1)Some degree of buyer protection using credit cards. 2) cash back/points with credit cards 3) the ability for the data of the sale to integrate with quicken/software to track purchases and spending. 4) not having to carry cash /go to an ATM (that just sucks)

Typically spend real cash probably less than a dozen times in a year. Really no point for most things. It's quite skeevy to demand cash nowadays because it just sounds like you don't want it on your company ledger. Discount would have to be greater than 0.10 per gallon to beat the cash back someone can make on a credit card.

I understand the advantages of using a credit card, I use one to buy my oil but I don't find using cash to be "sketchy". I just am too lazy to get the cash and the points even out with the discount so I don't see why I'd bother.
