Originally Posted By Mr X Ah. I see (I was wondering the same thing SuperDry was, actually). I don't like those hard ticket events either, but probably for the opposite reason you're driving at (I resent being a patron in the morning and then getting kicked out "early", even if early is considered "park hours for the day"...you know what I mean right?).
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: Indeed I DO know what you mean, Mr. X. When I'm out on a date with a man, it just irks me to no end when he finds an excuse to end our evening early--only to find out, later, that he did so because he thinks a 'better offer' came along! When I pay someone good, hard earned money, I expect to a full evening's worth of pleasure instead of being kicked to the curb earlier than expected!! Some of those Disney execs have minds like dirty DOGS!! Using poor guests the way they do--just like some of my dates have used me!!!

Originally Posted By jkayjs There is an epidemic of 'what's yours is mine' in this country & I for one am very weary of it.

It's obvious that it's a professional id theft ring. Now try to get law enforcement involved. I made more phone calls than I can count but since the ring keeps the charges under a certain amount they aren't interested. The best line was when the lady @ the Orlando PD told me that the crime occurred in Miami not Orlando since that's where the card was used. So I guess it's not a crime to steal the # only to use it(I guess that's true but somehow it sounds wrong). BTW ORDDU any man that would end an evening with you early is obviously a fool & not worthy of your time.

I told them my card was in my wallet. Long story short...Walmart called the police and arrested the guy who was the Sprint employee. BTW, Sprints reponse was...oh well.
Originally Posted By AuroraRose when disney requires a credit card for a reservation, it's hard not to "flash plastic" I try to keep my cc use to a minimum, and never leave my number at the desk to be used as a room charge. also try to use the virtual number as much as possible, they oly last about 5 minutes and cant be double charged.
Originally Posted By SuperDry Unfortunately, using a rewards credit card for almost everything you buy is the key to being able to freeload your way to Disney parks. Having a card compromised from time to time is just one of those things that happens. I've had it happen to me 3 times, one of which was for a card that I had received in the mail months earlier and had never used or activated. Another time was for a card I had used only once months prior. So I think a lot of credit card theft takes place from corporate databases or just from random guesses that are made against an online merchant that will authorize a transaction for a small amount, and then once a valid card number is discovered, is used elsewhere for larger purchases. The virtual card numbers are a great way to reduce the possibility of theft. With some banks, in addition to the single-use virtual number, you can get a virtual number that works for up to a year but only with a single merchant. These work great for recurring monthly bills, such as cellphone bills, as it allows you to use a credit card and it doesn't matter if the card number gets stolen from the merchant.
