I don't understand why ten days, though. Ours get overnighted, even if it's not an emergency

Mine's been stolen a few times too. But the credit card companies are getting too zealous at flagging stuff as well. I was trying to put $50 on my metro fare card earlier this year and they flagged that. I understand their motivation, but it's annoying when trying to make small normal purchases.

I don't know, this is the third or fourth time it's happened and they always tell me ten business days before the new card gets here. Realistically it usually gets here in less than that, but it's definitely never been overnighted. It's probably my credit union being lazy rather than Visa, though.

Credit card fraud is definitely irritating. We went through a period where our main card was compromised several times in one year.

My irritation today is from me and the little kids all being slightly sick. Max is going back to school today, but I still have a stuffy head and sore throat, as does Eva who also has conjunctivitis, which I have been putting drops on for 24 hours now, so hopefully mostly cleared up by tomorrow.

Oh and a couple of cake issues which are annoying me.

Your lucky. It has happened to me twice this last year. Last time it was a christian charity that got hacked. I caught the charge, and reported it the next morning. They sent me a letter telling me that they were hacked, and asked me for a new CC number. Now I don't make online purchases, or charitable giving unless they have Pay Pal. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before Pay Pal gets hacked.
