5. Xiomara uses reward points on her credit card to purchase a book she wants to
read online. That evening she meets up with a friend for dinner but discovers she left
her credit card at home. She agrees to pay her friend for her half of dinner later using
Venmo. Their waiter uses a point-of-service mobile device to charge Xiomara's
friend's credit card. On her way home, Xiomara buys a latte at a drive-through using
cash she got from an ATM the day before, and when she gets home, she pays her
friend with Venmo and then uses some airline miles to buy a plane ticket to see her
mother in Mexico next month. Which of these purchases involve digital payments?
