Well.... I had my new "low limit" card for just THREE WEEKS and got hacked AGAIN! I made sure I only used it at our 3D content stores....so IT gets hacked but my regular card I use ALL the time for groceries and necessities DIDN'T... sure excludes my bank, my machine, and Visa.... I am so so so so so upset! I had a cart full with coupon in hand.... and I can't go TO my bank branch to get an "instant" replacement, due to my health...so I have to wait 7-10 business days..... AGAIN.... I asked the fraud dept. about a "pre-paid visa"... but he said I would HAVE to go IN to a branch to be issued that kind of card.... sooo IF I'm brave enough to shop again (probably start here first, as I actually feel safest HERE) and IF it gets hacked again, I WILL wait till a less "germ-y" time in summer to walk into a branch and get a prepaid card...and to keep it safe, I will 1. fill my cart, 2. go to my bank on line, put the exact amount on the card, and then 3. immediately BUY the stuff in my cart and use the limit... The Fraud guy said the NUMBER can get hacked, but at least if they can't use it for these $500-$1000 travel agencies charges maybe they will give up?!?! He said the only way they could use it is if they used it at the EXACT same time as I was.... I just hate this STRESS.... really messes with my poor muse when she gets an artistic idea and needs a product!
