Lack of good alternatives, mostly. When you travel a lot, hoping for paper checks to reliably catch you is risky; and foreign check charges or bank wire fees eat up too much on small payments.

Yeah, I know it's risky, but it's convenient as hell. I was always careful to avoid accumulating five grand, since that's the public trigger number for Epassporte's impossible-to-satisfy security review. Unfortunately, that turns out to be a bullshit number, as they hit me when I had less than a thousand in the account.
