I had Amazon call me several years ago because they had discovered some suspicious activity on my card (whose information they had stored w/ my approval). I thought that was pretty nice that they were on the lookout on my behalf.

This JUST happened to my FIL this week! He drove from SF to AZ to buy a trailer, brought one card (which he was going to use to buy said trailer and cover ALL expenses during the trip) and while in the middle of the desert, Wells fargo called and said they were closing down the account! He was SO mad - took a full day and a half to get a new card after several go rounds with people in India as well as the local AZ WF branches. They were ultimately able to get him one, though, and all in all, I think they did a decent job.
