Tap-to-pay resolves the old fraud issues of 3rd party scam card reader skimmers. Also in countries like Argentina they have aligned the new technology with laws not allowing the cashier to handle your card or bring to the front desk. a simple tap to pay is quick and easy. I find it much easier than taking out my phone to NFC or QR. Phone is handy for times when I forget to leave the home with wallet. Plus all credit card transactions are easy to dispute fraud, so not worth even one minute of worry. It is debit cards that have less fraud protection, so I carry them less, plus I mostly leave them blocked in my online account settings. I keep prepaid cards with a low balance for the cases in Argentina who only take debit vs credit.
