I don't need the contactless option on the visa card. I know there are stores that use it, why bother when you have the chip/pin?

I commute and get arround the city every day. The only payment/transaction card in my wallet that has stayed that way has been the CTA Ventra card. My CCs barely last 1 year now. (Someone gets your number and then you get a new card) I don't want to be screwed because the CC wants to take control of that. Also, I don't trust the "pass support" on the CC.

I'm pleased they offer Google pay support. However, not providing an option to avoid that.. that's the irritating thing.
