In the past 12m I think we have had 5 cards frauded between wife & I. Last situation is the most ridiculous.

Received a fraud alert, called CC company disputed charge and was told card also added to an apple pay which we didn't do. New card issued and on the way. Hadn't even opened new card mail yet. Look online and there's already charges to the new card! Call and they automatically updated the new card info to the fraudsters apple pay! Apparently Visa & MC now automatically update info with linked merchants and recurring payments. Found this out also just few weeks ago when my AAA renewed and I never gave them the updated card info.

Citibank Visa said they can disable auto updates. BMW Elan MC said they can not, which then raises the question can Citi Visa really do it...

Any ideas tips tricks to minimizing or preventing CC fraud these days? Feel like going old school & cash...
