I carry three cards. My main card, with a large credit line, that I use for consistent charges. A second card with the lowest credit line they would give me, that card is just for gas stations and restaurants, the two places I feel I'm vulnerable. The third is my debit card which I only use at the bank, or in a store if I need cash. I also get a text every time anything happens with my accounts. Charges, withdrawals etc. That way, if my card is used, not by me, I can cancel immediately, so they can't charge again. i know I get the money back, but I hate the idea of the thieves getting a big score, hence the low credit line on the gas station/restaurant card. To the OP, immigrants... good grief.
