Good tips. The gas-pump PIN theft happened to me last October, I'm pretty sure at an Arco. Fortunately my bank caught it really quickly when the thief spent 200 at a Target 150 miles away, at the same time I was buying lunch. But it was still a major PitA. FYI, Bank of America told me that the gas station most often cited as the likely culprit is Arco. At least here in SoCal.

This is good to know. Especially because I like to use debit more. It shows up on my statements right away.

I'm going to make dh read this. He always uses his debit card as debit and not credit.
