[TriLUG] A question about LINUX FORMAT magazine

[Reginald Reed]

This is one of the reasons I carry a Citibank credit card.  With their
online tool, you can generate single use credit card numbers that have a
maximum charge amount.  That in addition to zero liability makes for a
pretty darned good card.

Check your credit card agreement.  Most credit card companies nowadays
have zero-liability clauses for Internet purchases, which I assume this
would count as.  So if something goes wrong, you won't lose anything
assuming you dispute the charges properly.

I've made plenty of purchases overseas, in other currencies, and never
had a single problem.  If you feel the company to be reliable -- as you
obviously do with your positive review of their product -- then I
wouldn't hesitate at all using a credit card to purchase a subscription.

Now, as far as the reliability of mail delivery... that's another
question! :-)
