Yeah, every time my credit card provider has needed to contact me, they send me an recorded message telling me to call the number on my card.



I've had different cards for 35 years at least, never got a call. What do they call about generally?


Suspicious activity. Suddenly using your card in the UK, when you're in the US. "Swipes" several hundred miles from your normal ___location, but also occurring in your normal ___location on the same day.


Ah, I never use my real card on the net, maybe that's why. I used to get a virtual card unique for every purchase but that has been discontinued now. Got a separate card for online usage that I only put money on when I want to buy something. Also needs to be opened up for Internet usage and many places require an electronic signature with the bank id app. Hoping this will be mandatory soon.
