Yes, I was very surprised when it happened a second time this year. Chase, and other CC companies, have complex programs that analyze fraud, and I am confident they are doing everything they can to avoid losses and get to the bottom of all of their fraud cases. If it is somebody at a specific merchant it should be very easy for them to identify that sort of situation with the millions of transacitons they process daily. They have the information and the resources to do just that. Even then it still may be difficult to identify the actual culprit.

My volume is about the same, with a bit higher upper limit 1 or 2 months a year.

Thanks, I hope so too. All of my automatic payments are on this card, so it is a minor inconvenience changing all of the cards on those accounts. If it happens again soon, then I will start suspecting it is someone who works for one of those merchants.
This has been a very interesting acedmic discussion. Sorry to the OP for going a bit OT.
