How can I help you?

Hello. I'm wondering if I can buy chips with my credit card. I have my credit card, but I have no money with me at the moment. I have kept my money in the room safe, but it's a hassle to return to my room on the 35th floor. Can you tell me if that's possible?

Hello. I'm wondering if I can buy chips with my credit card. I have my credit card, but I have no money with me at the moment. I kept my money in the room safe, but it's a hassle to return to my room on the 35th floor. Can you tell me if that's possible?

1. Use the simple present tense to express an action that happened at a specific time in the past.
Use "have + a past participle (kept)" to express a past action that happened at an unknown time.
Of course, it is possible. Are you sure you only want chips? We have a variety of souvenir items to choose from.

Oh, that's great. Could you give me chips equivalent to 500 dollars? Here's my credit card. Well, I'm going to stay here by the end of this week, so I will get souvenir items later on. Thank you for asking, anyway.

1. Use "until" to describe the period of time before the deadline.
Use "by" to indicate a specific deadline.
Sure,no problem. Here,please put your pin. Your credit card is protected with a pin. That is a safe way to protect yourself.

That's right. Entering PIN numbers are fairly common in my country when we use credit cards. It has gotten more common than signing on receipts. It is the most effective way to prevent credit card fraud, isn't it? Has credit card fraud increased in your country in recent years?

That's right. Entering PIN numbers are a dime a dozen in my country when we use credit cards. It has gotten more common than signing on receipts. It is the most effective way to prevent credit card fraud, isn't it? Has credit card fraud increased in your country in recent years? 

1. This is an alternative expression. It means "very common".
Yes, it has. My friend became a victim once. I do not know how the criminal managed to do it. How about in Japan?

Well, the situation is essentially the same although I've never fallen for such fraud in my country to date. Having said that, I was once about to fall for a credit card scam when I visited Europe about five years ago. Actually, I found several transactions which I didn't know in my credit card statement. I immediately called my credit card company, and they removed those from my monthly payment, so I was lucky. Since then, I've reviewed items listed in my credit card statement very carefully. Do you usually check your credit card statement every month?

1. Use "that" to introduce a clause that is important to the sentence.
2. Use "the" when referring to specific "items".
I do but I am not an avid user of my credit card. I am afraid to overspend and not be able to pay my monthly due. What purchases do you usually use your card for?

I use my credit cards for almost everything. I mostly use Rakuten Card, a credit card issued by an affiliate of Japan's major online shopping mall, so that I can earn membership points as much as I can. I use the accumulated points when shopping online.
