How often does your credit card number get stolen on the Internet

I buy virtually everything on the Internet, and at least once a year I get a fraud alert from B of A. I got one last night, and now I am waiting a week for a new card to arrive. This must be my fifth or sixth one in the last 5-6 years. So far, it hasn't cost me anything other than inconvenience, but it is a pain. I do have another card, but I mostly use that on Amazon. My B of A card is my Internet card.

waiting a week ?? I'm a B of A card holder and have never waited more than 2 or 3 days. I believe the Amex boys get it the next day ?
 
Amex, next day.

Last time it happened (which isn’t often), they automatically reset the many recurring payments I charge to that card. I expected problems, and there were none.

Once or twice a year. It’s happened at retailers, restaurants and gas stations. We do get e-mails from the card providers when transactions are made and, threrefore, move quickly to address any suspect transactions.

It is a royal PITA but our credit card providers have done a really nice job to support us and get us replacement cards overnight.
 
We have only had one issue which is surprising with all of the international travel we do. I ordered my wife a new AMEX when she had a issue with her magnetic strip. We activated the card the day it arrived and within 90 minutes we had a call from fraud protection asking if we made a UK purchase. No, we let them know the problem was on their end as the card had never been out of the house nor had we time to change to the new card number on any sites we have set up for a AMEX purchase. That new card was cancelled and no issues since.
