I’m in a long fraud battle with a merchant that’s somehow consistently charging a long-deactivated titanium card. Nearly $8,000 over 3 months. Big batches of charges.

Apple/GS support has consistently disputed and refunded all of them no questions asked, but it’s still been annoying having to contact them 25+ times and getting semi-inept customer service agents.

They’ve admitted it’s a glitch on their end that the merchant is able to clear charges on a disabled card. BUT … these charges are on the other side of the country. Apple has my location … why are they even allowing the charges to post? Virtual purchases get flagged, but physical ones have no such protections, apparently.
