Whatever is the world coming to? Engadget reports that:
Monopoly ditches cash, goes plastic Parker Brothers is phasing out the cash-based version’s funmoney and replacing it with an “Electronic Banking” flavor that could leave Mr. Moneybags turning his pockets inside out as his stash is replaced by a magnetic strip.
This is happening now in the US when will this indignity be inflicted upon the rest of the world.
This prompts a number questions which include:
- When can I get a Matercard / AMEX / Diners version?
- Can you upgrade to Gold / Platinum card?
- Are there member discounts when staying at hotels?
- Is there a loyalty program?
- How much is the annual membership fee?
