I got a new credit card in the mail today and I guess this reaffirms that the message I got last week about being sent a new credit card for security purposes which was true. I had to go through all of the normal procedures in activating a new card. I also asked the customer service agent out of curiosity on the reason that my card had to be re-issued. The person told me that one of the merchants that I have used my card with have had their computer systems stolen and therefore all of the credit card accounts in it may have been comprised.<\/p>\n
So this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just a new credit card with a different expiry date. All of the digits are different as well. One setback as a result of this is that virtually every service provider that I have my credit card setup with must be informed of this change. For example, even something as simple as the utility bill where I normally just kept my credit card number on file for easy billing must be changed now.<\/p>\n
I suppose it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all for the better though as it wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have been nice to get surprised by an unexpected bill at the end of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
