I just lost all sympathy for you.

Someone stole my CC info last year about a week before a big trip. BoA was great about handling the situation. It was a ***** with all the claims I had to make and getting a new card but it didn't cost me a thing except some stress.

This just happened to me. A guy in the UK was buying memberships to Appreciation sites. It was on a Citi card and they took care of everything.

Or to require a minimum purchase to use a card? Mind you all of their advocacy is to increase their profits, but its still nice.


I dine out everyday and I'd say I have to cross them off on about half of my receipts.

I'm wondering how they used your credit card number without the card at a Salvation Army.

Just joking that it was a cover up for your own purchases

That Miss Manners ploy works everytime. If someone tells you a joke that you don't enjoy (works the best for dirty jokes) you play dumb and have the joke teller describe the meaning of the joke.

I don't either. Also, it's a debit card, so they have to know the 4 digit pin numbers also.

I have seen it mostly at restraunts still. I bet it has to do with people who still use the old machines.

Let me see if I can dig something up on google about it.

My credit card was stolen once, but they caught the guy because his signature didn't match mine. ********* was too small: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=101479
