question- if one uses an app- like say walmart app, or some other store app to purchase online with credit card, then removes the credit card from the store app after a purchase- will it be ‘relatively safe’ then? (I know the store itself will likely still have the number- even though the person deletes the card from the site- but it ‘won’t be’ as accessible to other sites then i would think?
We tried for family members who can’t get out, using gift cards, but the apps wouldn’t accept them- then tried using debit card- to limit the amount hackers could get if anything went wrong, but nope- they wouldn’t accept that either-
looking for a safe way relatively speaking for online shopping for folks that need to get delivery-
Beware of sending gift cards physically. In April I sent 4 to different recipients. One to a lady who needed food and essentials. She called me one day and knowing her, I was a little surprised that she didn’t mention it and I certainly wasn’t looking for thanks. She never received it. I then checked on the others. They didn’t get theirs either. One was sent 3 weeks prior. It was a 3 month hassle to get my money back and hours on the phone. Beware!
