Since there were no bogus charges on my account, the problem was not fraudulent charges. All I can think of is that some number of cards were in a database that had been hacked into.
I had those idiots freeze my card multiple times... How embarassing is it getting DECLINED on a $10 purchase? I had to stand and call up and get them to unblock it. Luckily it wasn't "compromised" (whatever that means) and I didn't have to be issued a new one. But for a while.. every few transactions required an unblock call.
