No I have never used the card on line, I was lucky in a way because I was so annoyed that it was an automated petrol station and almost out of fuel, I had no choice so I thought I know I will use their card,otherwise it would have been my debit card and I would have lost much more ! that purchase for petrol was the only transaction for the whole month, all the illegal ones start 2 weeks later and of course all cash withdrawls, I have never withdrawn cash as I am too mean to pay the �6 handling fee !!
From now on I shall keep a �35 float and pay cash for petrol, but its made me paranoid and I keep going to get a mini statement every day !
Can you ask the credit card company to withdraw the cash facility from your cards ? to me this would make it safer.
input appreciated.
