The credit card number could have been compromised by someone opening the mail and copying the card information when it was mailed out. If they then knew the expiration date, they could wait to use it until nearly expired.

There are so many ways for credit card numbers to be compromised that, blaming it on Amazon, makes no sense unless Amazon, itself, went public with information that their database was broken.

The best approach is to just cancel the credit card and have the bank issue a new one. Its highly unlikely the experience will be repeated.
