Luckily I also used my debit card in petawawa literally minutes apart so the bank is waiving the charge without question. I'm so careful with my credit card and wallet the only thing I can think of is that I had it cloned in vegas because they only use magnetic strips in the states. Either way, wow. Never thought it would happen to me

Try taking money where no money exist lol Everyday of student life. 1 more year...1 more year...that's what I keep telling myself until I realize I still have a Masters ahead. On a related (to the topic) note, my credit card got jacked during the Fall, but I (obviously) wasn't out for the money and they sent me a new credit card with a chip this time '92 Talon TSi AWD - 5 Speed/E16G/12.385s @ 115.13mph

(other then to check signatures but how often are they even used) Chip cards you are at least in control of the way things are handled.

Whenever I go to a place like Las Vegas, Montreal, etc. I always put in the wrong pin number once. Because if it is a card reader that is stealing your card number / pin, it will automatically say accepted. A friend of mine who used to manage a gas station said that there was a guy who would offer to pay him 10k a month just to plug in his "card reader" once every few days for a couple hours.
