But they have clearly not followed the regulations on GDPR and PCI and saved money in the process, inconveniencing many of us through their conscious cost-cutting and transferring the burden onto us. That isn’t good enough in my opinion.
Same is upheld on the phone (at least at Dutch Customer Relations): no compensation if no "financial damage" has been caused. What a BS!!

I spent valuable time on replacing cards (as suggested per Dutch AMEX) and reconfirming hotels and other bookings for which the card served as guarantee etc etc.
