A couple of days ago someone hacked into my Thank You rewards Citibank acount and emptied $2000 of points.They bought gift cards at Best Buy with the points. I found out about it because I got a security message from Citibank in my email stating my password and email address had been changed. I immediately called Citibank and was on hold for an hour and a half watching my account being stolen. The hour and half wait was weird. I am probably not the only person who got hacked, maybe that was why I was on hold for a long time.
