After a prologue on New Physics scenarios and the uniqueness of charm to find them I briefly describe predictions for D⁰ oscillation rates in the Standard Model and their uncertainties and review the experimental evidence for such oscillations. My main message is that searches for CP violation in D transitions are a powerful and reliable probe for New Physics, and I lay out the phenomenological landscape for them.
