I don't think it matters that much anymore.
My account has been compromised twice, in two different countries at two different times in Europe not while we were traveling to Europe. I've also had fraud detection suspend my account because I made purchases that I would not have normally made when I was traveling in California. They locked me out the last day a few hours before leaving.
These guys are much more nefarious than key loggers are concerned when it comes to credit cards. The waitress you hand your card to can do much more damage and you willingly hand it to her and she walks out of sight for 5-10 minutes.

Someone tried to use one of my cards while I was deployed and the credit card company locked in on that in a heartbeat. Good show.

This is the only real deterrent. Now if you were using a debit card.... that's whole different ball of wax.
