While I'm not really miffed that they're looking out for me and figure they're doing a good job of it (having once been a target of fraud and not desiring to reapeat!), it is pretty freaky the sheer amount of information that they compile and keep on my spending practices. Grocery stores, too - the targeted checkout advertising coupons you get now are pretty creepy.
I just wish I *trusted* the people who have access to all that information to ONLY use it in cases like this where they're genuinely looking out for me - 'cause I'm really sure they're usually not.
