Yeah, they shut my entire account down until those pre-approved transactions expired. About one week.

Came back from holiday with 2x replacement cards, kept the one that matches last digits in app and cut the other one up.

This is why using Google or Apple pay is safer. Don't pay by card at all now (but always carry one just in case).

I guess that's fine for in-person payments but not every online merchant accepts those.

Yay I only just noticed but some joker set up a Spotify account in US $ on my card 15th June....

Lets see if I can fix this ****

My recent CC fraud attempt is worrying.

Chap had my email, phone no., CC number and CVC.

Halifax said it was either an inside job or a breach of security at an online shop I've used.

Fair to say I will be monitoring my accounts even more than I usually do.

Noticed 2 payments to the Apple store and some concert in the US that showed up on my statement.
Didn't help that the last digits of the card number were different to mine because Barclays have sent another card out but not told me.
Have to cut up current card and the new card that is on the way.Then wait for another card to arrive ffs...

I was able to access my new CC on the day Halifax issued it via there mobile app.

Was able to use it before I received the physical card.

Maybe you can do the same with your app?

The number changed on the app and the website (Barclaycard) but i only use the card online or instore with the card.Not a fan of using my mobile and from memory when i did try to link the card to the phone it wouldn't accept it.I don't think barclaycard works with google pay.
