Tute84, just wanted to let you know I changed my card number by phone today and they told me (both the regular clerk and the supervisor) that everything is now okay. Well, I'll find out on Wednesday when I once again travel to JFK, this time for a mileage run to HKG.

Merrill Lynch is cancelling my Debit/ATM Visa because of suspected internet fraud despite the fact the only thing I *ever* use that card for is for a monthly motor club billing and as an ATM card, I have never (nor would I ever!) use my Debit/ATM card to buy something online.

I wonder if this confirms my idea that some banks are just cancelling and reissueing ALL thier cards - what a nightmare for them and for us 
Now with the highly publicized hacker attack yielding info (including cc) on some of the worlds leaders at economic conference - what anti- hacker company stock should I be investing in (not a real queston)?
I guess it doesn't matter how criminals want to work just now they are inconviencing/ causing economic loss (just to prevent fraud even) on a much larger scale than ever before ;(

when i interrogated MBNA about the changes, they were really nice and went after the fraud ASAP and made no hassle for me.
AmEx also follows the "delete first, ask questions later" school of thought. My chase Continental card was unaffected, though they called when i made a purchase in New Zealand.
i do contend that i didn't actually buy that sheep with a credit card, but that's another story.
