There were no new terms of service with the card, but that's a very good suspicion.

It could very well be one of my regular haunts. The last time fraudulent charges appeared on both my sister and my Visa cards (with the same merchant bank), a little Internet searching revealed that it was a massive compromise. The thieves put small charges, $9.99 to $19.99, on who knows how many thousands of cards. The Internet was full of speculation as to which database was hacked. The popular theory was: Amazon. Talk about my "regular haunt".

I heard a report recently of a gas station which didn't ***** out the number on both copies. That may explain the ONLY time my Discover card was stolen. I only use that card to book flights and pay for gas at essentially the same gas station every week. Which may explain why, one day, there were a bunch of police cars in the gas station talking to some of the workers. And may explain why the guy who always filled my tank is no longer there.

I shrug and carry on, soothed by my information protection mantra: Why bother, everyone already has my credit card information already anyway.
