The only real hack I know of from my CC was several years ago, I received a call from my CC company asking questions about my card. I asked her for her extension, and told her I would call the number on the back on my card, and ask for her extension. She said fine, and I hung up, called and asked for that extension. She answered, and she asked if I was in Italy, trying to buy expensive scuba gear. I assured her I was at home, and I will never by scuba gear.

They canceled that card, and sent me a new one.

I carry two different CC cards, and my debit card. Once I was on vacation and the card was compromised, so I called the CC company and they said they would send a new card to my home address. I had to switch to the other card for the vacation.

Now I get a text if the charge is unusual and I have to approve or reject that charge. Texting sure made it easier.
