San Antonio hotels involved in massive credit card theft

Credit card fraud happens to the tune of billions of $s each year. I got hit when I activated a new card having to purchase an emergency airline ticket. After my first purchase on the card, a week later I got hit for two purchases. I called both companies - one was another airline and one was a .com music store. Both had trouble getting the purchases approved, but the credit card company that issued the new card through our credit union gave them approval. One purchase was in Canada; the other in New Jersey. Had my name spelled wrong and gave them a wrong address/phone. And the credit card company still approved it - without even contacting me. I got info on both purchases and turned it in to the credit card company with my fraud report. Never heard a word back. Both were cleared from my account. Bottomline, I figured an inside job at both the airline (leaking/selling my info) AND credit card company (approving the purchases).
