Magnetic stripes on CCs will start to disappear in 2024, and will be completely gone by 2033, at least for Mastercard. I think Visa has similar goals. This will force merchants to switch their terminals to support the NFC cards. The stripes are a 1960s technology that is easily read and less secure than the NFC chips.
When I get gas, say at a Sheetz, it is a lot faster/easier to hold the card up to the NFC reader on the pump, then to have to insert the card, wait for the chip to be read (many now lock on to your card while this is happening), and then input my zip code.
Especially in these Covid/Flu days, I don't want to touch anything that I don't have to. NFC cards make the transaction completely touch free.
