This is exactly the reason I never use my bank card anywhere but at my bank or in case of an emergency. I received a call from BoA a while back about some suspicious charges. I checked my BoA CC account and there was a $100 purchase at Foot Locker and $200 purchase at Target. I'm guessing they were both gift cards. The fraud agent told me that they buy the gift cards then sell them at a lessor dollar value for cash.
The call came in on a Friday night and I was leaving to go out of state for a week the next morning. Fortunately, it was on my credit card and not the bank card, else I'd not have had access to any cash on the trip.
Between processors getting hacked and this other crap, it's really starting to get ridiculous.
