That shell station is a total rip off on their gas prices 50 cents a gal more than Sam's club for premium & thats their cash price-- and when I use my credit card that gives me an additional 5% off my cost for premium comes down to $1.93

70 cents a gal up charge above your competition is way too much

Go to gas buddy & check your prices.

Some who use your card on the internet start with small purchases....sometimes as little as a dollar. Had three tries...one for a dollar, another for a little more and then the third paying an AT&T phone bill...all one right after the other on one day. Alerts are sent almost instantly about purchases. Sending notices for small purchase amounts does generate a lot of mail, but action can be taken quickly.

It's so sad that there are some with such knowledge and they use their powers for bad.

That's exactly why I have ours set to alert to any charges. That and the fact that it lets me know when hubs is leaving Winn-Dixie and headed home...:evil6:

Too cruel, CF. So you knew he had roses for you on Sunday?

My wife and I share a shopping app that lets her know what I have purchased from the "elist" she created. I seldom stray from it as a result.

I know when he's coming out of the liquor store and going into the grocery store. All while sitting on my backside...er, cleaning the house. Yeah, cleaning the house, that's the ticket.:laugh:

Yeah. But you don't know what kind of wine he bought until he gets home, do you?

I've had a credit card and a debit card hacked...common place used ~ Publix! Neither one was used at a gas station. Debit card was only used at Publix!

good to use even when you're not drinking! :a040:

Remember when we used to cash our check at the hospital with the credit union sitting at a table in the lobby. Then had envelopes for each bill to pay. Cash was the only way we paid for things in those days. Wonder if I could revert back to that spending mode
