I "work" for a major player in the Credit Card business...and not one of the crappy ones. I know that fraud watch is a huuuge thing, you wouldnt belieive some of the "conversations" I have with people every day. I tell you what I make the clerks at the stations and all swipe my card and bill the gas while I stand there, not just give them the card and turn it on...I tell them put 30$ on the pump and If I take less I get a return most of the time they give you cash so its easier...but they will refund the card too..thats what they are supposed to do. I dont trust anyone, myself least of all with my credit card(s). And I am telling you that other stuff they have as "services" for your card WORK like the identity theft stuff, and the protection stuff if you get hurt or fired...if you have a ton of cards, the one that cancels all the cards if good too...I dont use it I have only a few cards. but if you have like 5 or more....get that with one of the cards, then if you get mugged or "gas clerked" one call takes care of it all instead of calling each card one after the other...I hate theives too. They make me have to work harder and put my people in bad moods. im done ranting now I guess, sorry but I hadda.
