May be a coincidence but my wife’s card was hacked, “stolen” or whatever you call it last week. This was a credit union issued ATM/Debit card. She never used the card for debit purchases, only for ATM purposes at our local branch office. All, 3-5, of the fraudulent charges were online purchases all under $25.00. (I didn’t know you could buy online with a debit card.)

Aside, several years ago we were issued new ATM cards that also could be used as debit cards. We indicated that we did not want the debit feature. The credit union response was they no longer offered ATM only cards. I’m thinking they might rethink that policy.

Of course you can. PayPal even offers one, no interest. Just possible fines for subjectively judged violation of ambiguous hate speech, that of using the PayPal service for activities that:...relate to transactions involving... (f) the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.

I had a Chase credit card for use as a backup—never used.

When I logged onto my account and saw a $25 charge at a gas station in Los Angeles, while I live in the mid west I was bothered. Obviously, someone at Chase was doing it.

I got the card charge reversed and a new card.
