My wife and I have 2 American Express cards one for her and one for me, we got them because we had to spend 2 weeks for work in a Hilton and we got the rewards. We actually got them when they were City I believe and AE took it over. We have had them for about 9 years and I have never used mine. Today I got a fraud alert and Assumed it was my wife's card because she only uses that card at the carwash. It was mine and had 2 charges on it one to Kobo (some E book thing) and one to Intuit Canada, the total was about $25. Now since my card was locked in my safe and no one can get to it but me how is this possible? No it wasn't the kids, wife or anyone else.

They hit one of mine last week for 481.09 in a town and state where I've never ever been. Bastages need hanging. PITA having to void and get new card. Ao fR I far I have been hit a total of 5 different times in the last 3 years. I now check all of my accounts at least once per week whether I use them or not.

As an extra precaution everyone needs to read up on the 2020 EMV upgrades. If a store has not upgraded to the new chip readers and you get hit it is the stores responsibility not the CC company anymore. As these upgrades are being made it is pushing the skimmers to other locations. You need to be very wary of any outside purchase you make.

Capital one called me as soon as the transactions happened I told them it wasn’t me, they didn’t process them and canceled the card. Bank of America on the other hand never noticed it, luckily I did and called to let them know and they had to reverse the transactions and it took about a week to get my money back.
