    With all these breaches going about I now use a credit level card with a low credit allowance that will stop massive purchases and will be blocked before it can get out of hand.

    T&C on credit card and pre paid cards that I've read say they allow you to spend more than your limit but they'll charge a fee and potentially remove any promotional rates.
