My MIL has a credit card, but I'm not sure how often she actually uses
it.

I was in the grocery store with her last week, and when we got to the
check-out she said she wanted to use her card, then she handed it to
me and asked me if I'd do it. Then she whispered her PIN to me.

I took the card, waved it over the pay-pass screen*, and handed it
back to her. "Easy!" I said to her.

*In Canada, we don't have to swipe a card and enter a PIN. We just
have to touch a screen with the card. The whole thing takes about 1.5
seconds.
