Notify Credit Cards about travel

Credit cards today have fraud detection. If the notice purchases that are outside of your normal purchase habits, they may evoke fraud protection and disable your credit card. A disabled credit card could really ruin a vacation!

Avoiding fraud protection from locking your your credit card is easy. Simply call the number on the back of your credit card and notify them of your travel dates. Many credit cards have an automated system for handling these notifications where you can use your telephone to enter the travel dates.

Before you head out the door? Remember to notify your credit card company!
