I logged in between those dates, and I didn't get a letter. They don't have my credit card info stored though. Heh. I do not allow that. Plus, for online shopping, I use a credit card with only a $1000 limit. Just in case...

I got the letter too, if my card is hacked I'll just get another one. Happens every few months. Target, Home depot, BRS ect. Plus random places you never hear about it.

I received the notification today via snail mail

They don't have my current CC info so all good here

How do you Not allow for a Credit Card to be stored?
Mine is only $500 for on line shopping but i'd still want to know how to protect that info in future .

Not paying by credit card is the only way I know of. If you pay by CC the info is in their system. I suppose not setting up a default credit card on a website gives people the impression their cc info just disappears when they log out. If you were to need a refund from these companies on your CC they don't ask you to resubmit your credit card info whether you have a default card set up with them or not. Fortunately credit card companies are getting really good at detecting false purchases and although I've had my card cancelled a few times I have never been out a dime from my own pocket.

I checked my CC statement and i did not registered my CC with BRS and paid by PayPal, but potentially, is this cc # still is in the transaction to and from PayPal and BRS? I wonder...

I like Paypal because the vendor does not get to see your CC information at all. I pay with PP if the vendor takes it.....and with no issues since I have had the PP account. Many of CC's, replaced over time as hacks happen all the time.......bank calling me saying my card has been compromised.

It's not supposed to be as this is what's supposed to make them more secure to buy online and any refunds or credits have to go back onto your Paypal account directly. Of course what's stopping Paypal from being hacked? What can you do, business is electronic these days.
