Hi
Many of you already do this, but I thought I'd throw this out for people who may not have thought of it.
We have a separate credit card for online usage.
The card has only a $1,000 limit and is used exclusively online with places I order things from who don't use Paypal, like Amazon etc. we use our regular card for everything else.
Since I usually have some balance on it the amount that anyone could scam is pretty limited except at the start of the month.
Now I have to confess that I've had my credit card charged for bogus claims twice, and both times it was on our regular card not our online card.
But it still makes me feel better knowing that no one online can hack my card and run up $10,000 in charges.
In both cases when my card was stolen the credit card company called us and asked if the charges were legitimate and gave us credit for the charges so it didn't cost up anything.
