Watch all your cards carefully, especially if running transactions in volume. One consistent source of exposure is compromise of banking and transaction processing systems. AFAIK AP has not been compromised, but most of the major banks have and ditto the transaction processing systems.

The one card was a marriot visa that I got and put put $1k in charges on (card was only used twice) and had been sitting in a locked area of my house that only I have access to for a few months, so hard telling when the theif/poacher got your card info.
