sorry ellen its not a good idea to change your cards to all the same number cause if a thief gets your purse and gets your number they got all your cards to play with.

you will need to keep all your cards as different as possible these kind of thiefs know all the tricks in the book they can even clone cards that are exact replicas of your card but the magnetic strip dont contain any information so when swiped nothing comes up they make the card look old and worn so the cashire has to key in the number and coz it got your number on its your account the money comes out of !

Its very clever stuff thats why you need to keep your numbers as different as possible. :-)
