Henry,

Did you use that card at Sweetbay between December and early March? If so, that could well have been your point of vulnerability. Numbers were being sold/used long after they were stolen from sweetbay.

If not Sweetbay, then yes, perhaps the hotel was the vulnerability. Very hard to prove and the credit card companies just eat the loss. Doesn't hurt to point out to the suspected vendor that this compromise occurred. I doubt they or any vendor will change their practices. Most of the CC machines are electronic and not that portable.
