When WAS the Last Time I Was in Hong Kong?
Was I there Thursday?
Did I rent room 3317 at the VT Holiday in Hong Kong?
(Checks Thursday's itinerary "Work, Laundry, Dishes, Dinner, Streaming, Sleep")
Huh.
I was in Southeastern Virginia all day.
Soooooo.....my card has been hacked.
Well, Poop.
APPLICABLE MEME GOES HERE

Bummer. On the other hand, easy to contest those charges.

This is just a fact of life with cards. Even the chip does not protect fully from this. Also, online merchants are compromised periodically.
I ended using 4 cards.
Card 1: for a small number of recurring payments that I do not want to fail and for Amazon (historically it includes AWS S3 that hosts my backups and I also do not want to fail). I do not give this card to anyone else unless in a dire emergency.
Card 2: Everyday use where it gets stolen all the time.
Card 3: Backup (it's my wife's mileage card)
Card 4: Amex for aviation and travel items, mostly aviation fuel, parking, landing fees, hotels etc.
