how risky is it to use cards for payment?

Avoid paper trails when ever possible.

Between LE, wives and plain old snoops, who needs the aggravation to get a couple of bonus miles?

In addition, it's important to remember that pretty, available women can be addictive. The temptation to start charging flagrantly what you really can't afford is always a factor... I never carry a credit card into a strip club either.

but I've put pleasure on a card a couple of times (and I think I still paying one of them off).

Actually, one of my favorite indies in AZ takes cards and has a wireless card swipe machine / printer that she brings to the session with her.  She gets authorization for the charge, your signature, and you get a receipt.  Just like any everyday transaction.  No hassle (in this case, but I knew her reputation and met het before).

Ok, its not the for the security concerned hobbyest, but it can work.

But if you want to why you should not have your cards with when you go to play, and you're a VIP, here's a review to read.
