My CC companies are pretty good at denying payment for thing that they see as out of the ordinary base on my past.
But nothing is fool proof.
What a shame.

I use USAA also. They are very very good at keeping an eye on my account. Also, they do not charge for stop payments on debit cards.
To: Larry Lucido
ROFL!!
Well they’re people too :)
