Just a quick heads-up about a scam that’s going around whereby scammers get hold of a credit card number and drain the points balance by linking it to an Amazon account and buying stuff with Shop With Points.
Thus far I’ve only heard of the issue with Chase points. People are noticing it when they see their balances drained or when reviewing their points redemption history.
Surprising the scam is so widespread since I believe emails are sent out when a card is linked and when points are redeemed. So you’d think it would be possible to catch it quickly, but somehow it seems to be affecting quite a few people.
