Hmm... I've had the opposite experience with my credit card issuers. When I'm traveling a lot for business, I seem to have a card number stolen every 9-18 months. When this happens, the issuer always phones me before I notice any odd charges (and then I phone them back to handle it, because anyone can claim to work for the fraud detection department). Both companies have also been good on the rare occasions when I've disputed charges.

Of course I always travel with at least one spare card, so it doesn't inconvenience me much if they need to cancel a card and send me a replacement. But I wonder how that would work if I didn't regularly return to a fixed address? How do the digital nomad types handle these problems?



Not exactly a solution, but I have five credit cards. A few of them I don't even use any more but it's handy to have them there.
