Good luck guys, but I won't be putting my personal info on ANY books for the foreseeable future, thanks very much...
Considering how simple it is for restaurant workers and cashiers to clone credit cards during transactions, not to mention the relative simplicity of MitM attacks on 'Net-based transactions, my advice would be to stick to cash. Just using a credit card--in any way--puts it at risk.
