CREDIT CARDS
 
I have heard many for her stories involving people traveling with their credit cards. But with all the stories and I've heard, many of them might have been resolved with minor disruption, if the travelers would have done these simple things.
 
Number 1: 
Anytime you travel you should make photo copies of all of your credit cards airline tickets and documents, both front and back. You should leave these photocopies with a friend, and had a copy of these Xeroxes in your luggage. That way if you ever lose a credit card you can get it canceled right away. The majority of problems with the cancellation of credit cards occur when you travel internationally. Many travelers forget who the credit card is with, it's then many wasted hours calling United States and trying to find out which bank or institution the credit card was with. That's where the photocopies come in handy.
 
Number 2:
If you travel with someone, especially a husband or wife, I would make sure you travel with individual credit cards in separate names. The reason for this is simple. Many families have one credit card issued to them. Many families have one credit card account number one have individual cards issued to each person. The problem with this is if one person were lose their credit card, the others person's credit card would be canceled also, and you would have to wait until card was sent to you and three to five days. By each traveler having his or her own separate credit card, if one was lost, you could survive on the other credit card for a few days until the other is replaced.

Number 3:
Automatic Credit card deactivation can spoil a vacation. Some banks and credit unions cut off credit cards that are used 6 or more times in one day, to try and stop thieves from using stolen cards. If this happens to you overseas, you may find it difficult or impossible to have your card reactivated. Before going on an overseas trip on which you will use your credit cards, notify your credit card companies that you will be away overseas. This will let then know that your card has not been compromised.

We need to take care of our credit card and always remember the password. Don't ever give your password to anyone, even your family, because you have a privacy right of your own as a card holder. It's your responsibility to take care of your important treasures, even the credit card.
