I am surprised how late it was discovered. My us air MasterCard was one of the 10 million cards that was compromised. Luckily, I wasn’t using it for a long time, so when someone tried to use it Barclays flagged the transaction and called up to confirm. I was lucky to be spared, but I learnt a valuable lesson of securing my credit info. Also thanks to blogger like you, who keep us enlightened of importance of our credit.

The United Mileageplus explorer card bonus is currently 50,000 miles after first purchase–that is if you login to your mileageplus account.
Wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for sharing. I’ll update the post.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that info and putting a “face” on the security breach. It’s a good thing Barclay’s flagged it for you.
