While we haven't noticed any unusual activity, my wife was sent a replacement debit card from our bank, USAA. My existing card has not been replaced.

Not as well known, but Neiman Marcus also suffered a security breach.

Me and the gf both had Chase send us new cards. "impacted"? Nothing significant but it's a pain to go back and change card numbers that you have saved at different online vendors. But, nothing monetarily.

i had a "greyhound bus fare" charged to my american express on christmas eve


i had used the card at target although i can't guarantee thats what caused the problem


amex took the charge off of my card but said replacement wasn't necessary unless i noticed any other suspicious activity

Shopped at Target during that time. I've been monitoring my account, but I have not seen any fraudulent charges.

Did have Toyota send me a replacement credit card saying that I didn't have any fraudulent or unusual activity on my account, but that my account may have been compromised.

I've used this card at target within the last month or so, so I would imagine that's what caused it.

My wife said Target is supposed to offer free monitoring. We have not seen it offered yet.

With Usaa but didn't get a replacement card. Reported a random $50.00 even charge on 12/22. They refunded me. Not sure what that was

Just checked email and the offer is there. Now we can drop the $30 a month monitoring with Experian. ( some Messicans stole our card # in July and bought 5 Iphones at Verizon)

Yup, I used a reload able MasterCard that my work gave me there and I have been getting charges from all over the world. To their disappointment all of their transactions have been declined since there isn't any money on it.

Yep, Target CEO said they were in an interview on CNBC Sunday night.

They got me pretty good. I had a total of 6 charges on my credit card. All from Maryland. I think they tried to charge in excess of 700 dollars. They also tried to set up new accounts under my name at Verizon and Att. It looks like they more information than just your credit card.

Haven't seen anything.

But between my wife and me, we've used 4 different debit and credit cards at Target in December. We are considering getting them all replaced.

I got an email from my bank saying my card was one that was "impacted" and they sent me a new card. I haven't seen anything on my account charged by someone else though.
