- Amex stolen the same day our Sam’s Club auto-renewed
An American Express card was stolen the same day a Sam’s Club membership auto-renewed, leading to unauthorized $50 e-gift card purchases at academy.com. Nine days later, a $600 e-gift card purchase attempt using the same Amex on file with Sam’s Club triggered an alert via an email from Amex. The user suspects a security breach or vulnerability at Sam’s Club.
