Last time I had a charge for over $400 in gasoline from Texas

It's getting worse everyday too.

They had some thieves here in Vegas putting a little scanner the size of a quarter right above where you slide your card on all the Red Box Video kiosks in town and stealing everyone's card info.

And I just bought a new wallet made of stainless steel fibers that blocks thieves from standing a few feet away from you in a store or restaurant or airport and scanning your card right inside your pocket or wallet.
Just got my Wells Fargo cards in the mail... Turns out someone got hacked and so everyone got new numbers...

Prediction... The death of the 16 digit number won't be from new consumers coming online, it will be from the reissuing of cards to old consumers.
