I tend to agree (I think that people make way too big of a deal out of it for regular CCs) but what if you're swiping a large GC? I like a $3k AGC... those have little to no fraud protection, it seems. They specifically say that if your card is lost or stolen they won't refund anything that was charged before you report it to them. Not sure what they do if the info (not the physical card) was stolen through a hack.

I've had this happen to me in the past with regular CCs so keeping large balances on AGCs always makes me nervous.
