Most people never stop to think about the type of card that they have...and how it targets them for fraud. Let's say you have a American Express Plum card.....that one tells everyone your special.

I keep one generic card with a very small Credit Limit that I use at restaurants, shopping malls, and online. That way if the numbers get stolen, there is very little they can get from me.

Interesting.

All I use is my American Express "Plum" card (I always thought it was red. Maybe my wife IS right and I'm color blind).
