Often, thieves run small test charges before making larger ones. If the small one goes through, I suppose they think no one's paying attention.

I couldn't agree more. Not only do I now check my accounts online daily, but I've had the cc company call about a suspect charge, and I could go online while on the phone to access whether the charge was legitimate.

Usually, only the last 4-5 digits of an account number are changed after an account has been compromised; it's much easier to hack the same account a second times. If you can talk them into it, ask for the entire number to be changed.

The entire numbers were changed each time this happened to me.
