I used my credit card twice at the hotel that I was staying at - Blue Bay Villas. Once to pay for the safety deposit box and once to pay for an evening pass for a British friend from Santo Domingo. Somehow they made a duplicate of my card and swiped it at the gas stations.
All other transactions were cash deals. I was always in possession of my credit card and have it right now, so it was not stolen. It was duplicated.
The bank is investigating these 2 transactions and I have cancelled my credit card.
If you have been travelling and using a credit card, may I suggest that you check your transactions carefully. You only have 30 days to respond to fraudulent charges.

or was the number just manually input. In that I mean can the bank tell you that it was swiped? Can they tell? Just curious and glad you caught it.Best of luck to you.
