The more you use a card the higher the chance it'll be compromised. The more transaction floating around out there, the better the chance an algorithm will hit on the number and on the black web it'll be.
I'm old school, still write checks, carry money, no debit card, but between wife and I still use CC probably every day for like gas stations or shopping. We've been compromised many times through the years, the bogus charges in FL, CA, Turkey and others places I don't remember.
I've had lengthy talks with CC fraud departments several times through the years, my impression is there is no way to totally prevent it. The thieves, those stealing the numbers, are smart and innovative.
