I do this with most of my cards every quarter, staggering each card by about 2-3 weeks. Even ten years ago this level of opsec was practically impossible but nowadays I just log into the bank's app, tap a few buttons, and my digital wallets are updated with the new credit card instantly. I've got the process automated for 2/3s of my cards and worst case scenario, I have to walk from a store that doesn't support tap to pay to an ATM or major retailer for cash back.
Combined with Privacy.com linked to a secondary bank account for digital transactions, I'm feeling secure for the first time since I discovered online shopping.
- pmiller2 6y agoI would think reporting your cards stolen once a quarter would be likely to get your accounts closed. I'm amazed it hasn't happened to you yet.
- akiselev 6y agoThey don't care as long as my chargebacks are legitimate. I imagine it would be an issue if my cards really were stolen and used without authorization on a regular basis instead of at the bottom of a paper shredder basket.
