| Rant, Target I had spend over and hour and half waiting at the Bank this morning to have my Debit Card cancelled and to get a new one. Due to this mess of Target being hacked and over 40 million people's info being stolen between Nov 27 -- Dec 15. I shopped at the store on Dec 13 and used my debit card twice at the store. I would rather be safe than sorry about this. There were so many people in the Bank getting this done. At least the people waiting had good attitudes and no one was in a bad mood, just irritated a bit to even have to do this.

| It's stuff like this that makes me not even carry a debit card. I only use CC b/c if there is a problem, it's easier to get your money back. Sorry you had to waste your time... At least you're getting it done before something happens. |

| I canceled my check card yesterday and ordered a new one. Better safe than sorry and I'd rather be proactive to avoid the real hassle of trying to get my own money back if something does happen to the account. I know so many people saying that they're just going to monitor their accounts but I think, UFF, why risk it? This hacking crap happens every day all over the world, I'm just SOOOO happy that Target caught the issue as soon as they did! It could have been MUCH worse! |

| I went on Monday the 16th and I read the people affected shopped from black friday to the 15th. I wonder if I'm safe.

| There was a thing that said Target has to pay you back if your card gets used by whoever got the numbers so I wouldn't worry to much.

| OMG how scary! I use to live right next to Target and shopped there all the time. Since we've moved Target isn't as close, so thankfully I haven't shopped there in a while. What a hassle. |

| I would call the number on the back of your card and ask them to make sure. NBC nightly news said that tonight.

| UMM there is reason to worry. IF by chance they got someones info, it's more than just loosing money. They have all info, name address and anything else that is coded on the strip on the back of the card. WITH that info Taylor it can used to cause more problems, such as opening new accounts in your name and charging up a big bill. That Target can't fix !!! They can't get someone's identy back if stolen.

| According to what has been said, you should be safe. BUT I wouldn't trust them, since they waited at least two weeks to let people know they had a problem and they knew it. I just have to laugh at the date I went to Target , Dec. 13th (Friday) Crap if I hadn't had to pick up my RX's from the Pharmacy I wouldn't have even been at Target and used my card twice. Once at the Pharmacy and then the check out line to pay for other stuff.

| I called my bank yesterday morning and told them I had used my debit card at Target on the 27th. She pretty much told me not to worry...that they haven't been contacted by Visa that any of their cards were compromised. Today I read and article from a banker who said, "If you swiped any kind of card at Target during the timeframe, cancel the card. He said they sell your numbers to others and may not even use your numbers for months and then you get wiped out. I am going to cancel my card. If I go into the bank to do it, it only takes me 3 days to get a new one. I hate all this criminal activity going on and remember the days when I never gave it a second thought that someone might steal my identity. Ugh.

| WOW what an insult Target has thrown out there now. In a boost to more or less recoupe sales they have lost in the last two day's, they are offering everyone a 10% discount Saturday and Sunday when you shop with them!! LOL

| Used my cc there twice during that time. Tried to cancel the card today and was told my bank has instituted charging a $5 fee to get your card replaced pro-actively like this. But if I wait they get official notification from Target that our card was compromised, they will replace it for free. Pretty irritated at my bank right now. |
