I initially thought the card itself had developed a swiping problem, or their machine, was less than perfect. When I called the CC people, they verified that a $99 charge to my account looked strange, and I knew I hadn't charged anything for $99 so they deactivated my CC.
After I received a new CC, I went to see son in Ft lauderdale and I made a large purchase. Again, they deactivated the card, again. If you are traveling to another state, it might be advisable, to let them know, so your card is not deactivated and they it's you, making the charges.
The last thing is, they did not me responsible in any way, for the $99 charge. I would be more careful when pumping gas, in that no one is around me, to steal my CC info.
