An issue near and dear to my heart.

My credit card info was stolen over the holidays. USBank was fantastic and responsive, as were the vendors scammed.

Here’s the dirty little secret of ID theft: the cops don’t care and will do little, if anything, to help you. I provided them with a ton of info that the victimized vendors gave me, and they still won’t pass it along to the DA for prosecution.

Guess I should have sent the info along with a box of Krispy Kremes.

I don’t trust debit card security at all - I just use mine as an ATM card at my local branch.

Credit cards today offer so many benefits with no fees its hard to imagine using a debit instead, unless you cant get credit cards at all due to credit problems (that happened to two of my relatives)

A Few years back I used to have to travel long trips every 4 to 6 weeks and I loved those $200 to $300 bonus checks from Chase MC every ~ 10 months.

Now they have continuous double point specials, this quarter its gasoline.
