This is getting tiresome

I have had a visa check/debit card for a great number of years. Once in the early 90s it was compromised for less than $200.00 and my bank gave me a provisional credit the same day I reported the fraudulent charge. Did good for a long time, then last September we went to Alabama to visit my wife's brother. We used my wife's card once at a convenience store across the street from the Opry Land Hotel in Nashville and the bum behind the counter must have used a skimmer to steal her info because we had a couple charges that were fraudulent and we reported it. Now you have to get a police report and then go fill out paperwork at my CU. I did that and got the money back very quickly that time too. I go on my CUs website tonight and see a pending transaction to a place called Getty Images, which i have never did business with or heard of. Call the number on the card and report it stolen. Just getting sick of having to do this so often. I do use this card for paying bills online and other online transactions occasionally. Usually they are to main line businesses such as amazon and places like that. I do use heypal when it's available as a payment option. Guess I gotta do some research to find a better way.
