You beat me to it. Yep, I heard this yesterday, on the news. After thinking, "Yikes!" and, "Good thing I postponed my trip to Staples," I immediately began weighing the PITA factor of purchasing gift cards in various denominations from the bank, so I could use them in lieu of my credit card when making purchases. Each purchase would then be a clean, un-"hit"table one for hackers, since immediately afterward I could ditch the card; take the package.
