...we're talking about 4 people. In an age where credit card companies expose or lose millions of credit card numbers, I hardly thing this is worth raking them over the coals.

Credit Card is NOT Stable, when get card, often numbers are changed locally, as use card, switch at counter clerks behest, when NOT Looking. Put chard here, do slip over there, new card & number put up. Bringing in Reload card for paynebt/activation does same. Card with Numbers & Letters turns to just numbers. both active, one going in & changing purchase amount, with Magnetic Swipe. Often Card Member Unaware of change.

Why, As reciepts accumulate, new reciepts can be switched with original, ethier as bill is sent , as NO payment is rendered till after bill sent or by hand, going into home.

41.00 can become &1.37, substaintual increase. Item 13-A can become ite 12-C++. Similar, yet, potentially half or less value, maybe even defective at manufacture.

Theres NO Limit on number of times item can be switched. Each time Card Company can keep difference or peerpetrator item. Seller keeps better item or sells again cheaper item, for Self, quick total loss, items hit trash , buyer Lost Intrest. You, Out about 1/3 money, after careful planning & pricing, Worthless or worse.

Allowing Careful narrow, WireLine, thieft, Ongoing. Even Taxes Are afffected.
