[Miles for Unauthorized CC Use] Hacking Leads to Miles

One of my AA Citibank cards was used in September at a Home Depot near Dallas, TX, with an unauthorized charge of $338. At all times, this little-used card has been in my possession, so the user likely used some type of hacking to get access to the card information and perhaps created a fake card.

Citibank alerted me to the charge, and it was disputed. About a month later, the charge was reversed after their investigation.

In the meantime, 338 miles posted to my AA account.

I expected them to be reversed, as well, but that has not happened, and several months have passed.

I think I have benefitted from hacking!
