Cash is king and we never use our credit card at a restaurant. That said, we do use a credit card for gasoline and hotels only. Bank of America Fraud division also called us a few weeks ago (we're up north now) as someone tried to use our number to buy $425 worth of booze in Ft Lauderdale. At first, I thought it may be someone trying to sell us something but after a few questions and repeating those questions, she seemed to be who she said she was. The reason she called was that the particular purchase in Ft. Lauderdale did not seem like what we would purchase with our credit card. Thankfully, she disabled our credit card and sent us new ones. So glad they are on their toes.
