Is it Safe To Hand Your Credit Card Over To Restaurants or Gas Stations

We strongly urge you to re-think the way you pay for your next Starbucks coffee, lunch, dinner or gas fill up. There are many criminals that apply to work at a restaurant, gas station and they have this plastic card reader that they slide your credit card through which records all the information on. Once the criminal does enough of these transactions, they start to go to places like Amazon.com and other online stores and rack up purchases.

What should you do to protect your credit card?

Tips to protect your credit card

#1 - Unless you wish to follow the waiter
or waitress to the credit card terminal to ensure he or she has not swiped your credit card number, we urge you to be paranoid.

#2 - Download the Starbucks Card Mobile App for iPhone & Blackberries

"We saved the coolest feature until last - you can pay for your drink using the Starbucks Card Mobile app! Enter your card number and your device will display a barcode you can use as your Starbucks Card to make purchases. It’s fast. It’s easy. And it’s a revolution in mobile payment. Mobile Pay is available at nearly 6,800 company-operated Starbucks stores, including all Target® Starbucks stores, in the United States."


"How do you protect your credit and debit info in restaurants and bars?

You might not be able to confirm an establishment's data-security measures are up to par, but you can do two things to hedge your bets:

* Use credit before debit: Many credit cards offer maximum amounts for which consumers can be held liable in cases of fraud. Debit card users could be left holding the whole bill, when it comes to fraudulent charges incurred via stolen information.

* Regularly check your statements: Especially if you often hand over your cards at the bartop or tableside. Catching suspicious charges within the first 60 days often increases your chances of getting the issuing company to limit your credit-card liability.
Still, the best measure is still the oldest: pay that tab with cash"
