Darn it. Some suspicious internet charges started showing up on my credit card today and the bank called me. At first I thought it was a scam call LOL because they started asking for sensitive information, but when I called back the number on my credit card, they asked the same questions and started going over the suspicious charges. Yep - none of the internet charges were mine. Wow - they picked this up fast!!
They had to close our account.
Unfortunately we are traveling for several weeks which makes it difficult to get replacement credit cards. We have to wait until we are some place for a couple of days so we can go over to the local bank branch and arrange for new cards to be overnighted. I don't know where I had read this was an option - but thank you to whomever posted that.
Fortunately, we had just recently activated new credit cards on an account that had been dormant for over a year. "Just in case" we needed a backup credit card - whew!
Now I have to go to the accounts that do recurring charges to the card and get them fixed up. In the future, I will keep those recurring charges on a separate credit card used for nothing else. Wish that had occurred to me sooner.
