Also, Ebay is just around the corner. Buying merchandise, especially high end or expensive merchandise, has always been a simple way to "drain" a stolen card, even if you end up selling it for less than retail price on the third market. It's a lot less suspicious (generally) to go on a shopping spree than it is to withdraw 10 grand from an ATM. Between about December of last year and August of this year, a Pebble watch was running at about $300, new in box, until Pebble was able to finally build up enough supply to begin shipping them from their storefront. That's a 100% return on someone else's money, if you don't get caught.
