Question by Torie: First Date Question / Damage Control!?
So I just went on an awesome first date. He paid for dinner then we decided to go out for a bit after. When I went to pay with my credit card…it DENIED! MORTIFYING.Now let me tell you, there is no way that my card is anywhere near it’s limit. I just moved in to the state within the last two months and it’s tranquillized registered in the other state. I have been using it more frequently this past week, so my bank may have frozen it for fraud protection?I explained that to my date, used my debit card instead and he was tiptop nice about it…he yet just texted me now to tell me he had a good time tonight. But still, my cheeks are red! I’ve never had that happen before…and I definitely don’t want him thinking I’m careless with my money because that is certainly not the case.Is it worth bringing up to him/doing ‘damage control’ once I find out from the bank? Or because, he seemed to be cool about it, just let it be?Thanks!

I consider you should let it be. Don’t dwell to practically on it, just show him you are responsible without actually telling him anything. Probably by paying with the same card some other time.

Q&A: Is credit card fraud getting out of control?

Question by Rain Dancing: Is credit card fraud getting out of control?
Twice in the last month, we have received calls from the fraud department of 2 different card companying stating that our cards had recently been used out-of-state. It wasn’t just the number, it was the cards being swiped….we were still in possession of our cards, which means that someone got a hold of our numbers and created actual plastic cards from those numbers. I think.Have you had similar experiences with credit card fraud?
