Made a purchase on Amazon yesterday and now I have about 15 fraud charges pending my credit card. Check your online transactions!

Wouldn't matter if it was a subvendor. They don't see payment info.
That being said I would be more worried about the device used to make the purchase than Amazon. Disconnect it and start looking to see if you have malware.

Brand new, top of the line computer with a crap ton of safety guarding. Unfortunately, that's no match for thugs on the internet.
No worries -- I'll have a replacement card in a few days.
It may just be a coincidence and not have anything to do with Amazon at all, but you should check your credit card periodically anyway.

Considering it was the only purchase I've made in a while, yes it was Amazon.

Props to Barclays. They were on it immediately.

Not worth it. All cards should be protected for free. My bank card with pnc is. However as a safer way to shop we only use credit cards and then move payment immediately. I dont want to wait 10 days for my stolen money to be put back, which is how long it took the last (and only) time my account was hacked.
Because it ties up your cash flow until the charges are reversed and the bank usually wants to cancel your card and issue one with a new account number.
Credit is the way to go, for sure. Any reputable CC company will not hold the card owner liable for any charges as long as it is reported to them in a reasonable amount of time. Responsible people will know what a reasonable amount of time is.

I understand. Identity Guard monitors all my credit card accounts for strange activity and will notify me. Or is a credit report is pulled they notify me. But most credit card companies will notify you if something weird is charged. Or you can put notification settings on your credit cards. I'll have to think about maybe cancelling this. $10 is $10 Would rather have it in my pocket if its not benefiting me.

Yep! I can monitor my credit and my activity FOR FREE! You are allowed one free credit report from each agency per year. Spread it out over a year and get one every few months. No need to pay someone $10 to steal... I mean monitor your information.

A month ago I got a fraud alert text from USAA asking me to call. Seems my USAA MC was used in Mexico at a Walmart for $80.
