I having a bit of a reminder how much I use my credit card. I try to use it for everything (because we get points at 1% that we use to buy food). Sometimes I just forget what I've connected to it.
The other day the credit card company called me up and said that my card / number had been found via some investigation, but no transactions had gone through. I have no idea how it was found - card skimmer, hacked website that I had bought something, I don't know. Either way, they were cancelling my card and sending me a new card which would take 5-7 business days. That was 5 business days ago and still no card.
So far I've tried to pay for a delivered pizza with it and buy stuff on itunes. Both times I had totally forgotten that the card was killed. Mental note: when they cancel your card, destroy it or bend it in 1/2 right away so you don't forget.
It's probably bad that in my brain I've abstracted the "buy" action with where the money actually comes from. Oie.
