Credit Cards - Intrest, Fees, and Bullshit

[ScottyB]

That happens to me about once a year.

same. my discover card was just compromised last week....someone went to a Lowe's in Illinois and blew $1800. sounds like a party. no idea how they got my card info.

same account was compromised last year too in Fredricksburg when i was coming home from a wedding. i'm almost 100% sure someone had put a card swiper on a gas pump where i filled up, because immediately after that my account showed that someone went to a lumber yard down the road and bought a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff.

what is it with people hacking my shit to buy home improvement stuff? my credit rating is really high...thankfully discover is also super on point about these things and gets a new card in my hand usually within 24 hours.
