She is sure her mail was tampered with as the envelope containing the checks was opened. Now she's worried about credit card fraud.

So, on the first day of my billing cycle I deposit one into my High Yield Checking account, and repay it on the due date about 2 months later and keep the free interest. Great for a card I probably would not use otherwise.

But they do still send some. We have more than one card from them, so even though I told the customer service person that bit of info, they may have missed the other card.
