Then about 10 days later, Citi called me to tell me that someone was trying to gain access to my account by telephone. I used that card on the $20 staples GC after buying VGCs at staples deal.

It's impossible to know for sure, but my store was hacked and the time frame is right. The last time I had a compromised card was 6 yrs ago. Yes, I got new cards and the fraudulent charges refunded, but it's still a hassle.
Definitely a hassle, no question about it. I meant as in not being liable for any fraudulent charges.
