Sorry to hear this happened to others,  I had a similar experience.  I
tried to pay my SRA membership when I was at the meeting,  the charge
went through 4 times and my Visa Debit card was cancelled by my bank.
It also wiped out all the remaining funds in my bank account, so my
husband also couldn't access any money from our bank account until the
charges were reversed 2 days later.   I know I should have a credit card
for emergencies like this, but I don't.  It all worked out in the end
anyway.

The credit card that I used to register as a vendor at SRA had
unauthorized transactions the day after I faxed my credit card
information to the SRA office.  I received a call at home from my credit
card company concerned that there were several purchases of gasoline
from the same gas station in Hartford, Conn.  My company is in
California and I had not lost my credit card.  I had to cancel the card
and be issued a new one.

My credit card had huge unauthorized transactions a day after I arrived
and was cancelled by my carrier.  I was fortunate to have a colleague
attending the same meeting pick up other expenses during my stay since I
only carry one credit card when traveling.  This new corporate credit
card was used for the first time during this trip.

I don't want to make this look too alarming, but those of you who
traveled to SRA annual meeting may want to check your credit card
statements for unauthorized transactions. I had one that originated in
MD ten days after I left National Harbor, and the only place where I
gave out my card details was at the hotel where we all stayed. The
charge was not from the hotel, perhaps somebody got access to the hotel
records. My bank is investigating it, but in the meantime I thought I'd
let you know.
