They didn't get live data, just the tire type. Shouldn't have had the device but it wasn't live data. Bad journalism as usual.

That's how AMEX shut us our corporate credit card account overnight. We launched a new shopping cart and tested it live in production with our own AMEX card. Mind you that we used that card for over $250k a month (never a late payment)

I don’t recall the exact quote. We do have a ton of traffic (more so back then as it was a freemium product then). Not sure if it included their warehouse as well. Our dev team at the time said rewriting it internally was impossible, so we

The only bad thing on my credit card report is a cable box that was not returned in a timely manner. The box was returned, and I even received my deposit back. Despite filing disputes, it remains on my report as a $500 non-payment. I have b
