Slightly disappointed they used Gangman Style instead of a rick roll for their YouTube link example :P

Unless I'm not home and it's something I need to buy asap, I prefer to do all of my online purchases or managing money on a desktop or laptop.

Using my phone for "important" purchases or decisions/actions just feels incorrect to me.
