My thoughts exactly

Plain and simple, I always get my money.

Same Here. However, I do like the thought of keeping a credit card on file and billing monthly. If I could only get it done for free or close to it....at least for the initial year. It would make life a little easier.

Offering credit cards has another customer "advantage" and it's a guarantee ... if they don't get their moneys worth from you ... they simply ask for a chargeback to their account ... credit card people will contact you to get your side of the story ... before charging back ... it's rare that as a vendor you will win .... the customer is nearly always right!

Good thing or bad thing? ... good thing and remind the customer who uses their card that a "built in" guarantee is in "motion" when they use their card with you ... it removes some of the risk in doing biz with you .... away ... from the transaction.

P.S. Will some try to take advantage of you? ... sure what else is new? ... so be real careful on big ticket items that will hurt you if they send "it" back! Put thru a series of small charges as they happen on the ground ... don't wait till months end to send thru a larger billing.
