Thanks for adding your experience. @Tom: There is certainly a huge difference between identity theft and credit card fraud. You're right that retailers are often the ones left holding the bill. @John: Other than cash from an ATM, I only use my debit card at Sam's Club, since they don't take Visa credit cards. @James: I'll be covering temporary credit card numbers, like ShopSafe, in an upcoming post. Looking at the terms, they do cancel ShopSafe numbers when your card is stolen, which makes sense. @Mike: I've been hearing about many different card issuers

It allows you to generate disposabal credit card numbers for online transactions. BoA offers this with most, if not all of their VISA credit cards. I believe, even if your card is stolen, the "account" ShopSafe is linked to remains the same. So even if they re-issue a card with a new number, the ShopSafe numbers remain the same.
