My Brother in Dallas does the same thing. I probably would if I was in the US but it is hard to do from here. My personal CC has never been hit but my work one has been few occasion's. Real pain in the ass to get an replacement via APO snail mail.

My personal CC is my emergency one and I rarely use it so it is ready for anything. It is amazing that we have to do these things today but as technology advances so do the thiefs........
