Credit Card Fraud

- show quoted text - The banks and credit card companies have become pretty good at tracking your spending habits and locations. Last year at about this time I decided to drive to SC to spend Christmas with my son. When I arrived at the hotel and tried to pay for the stay with a card, I got a request to contact the issuer. Once they confirmed it was really me, the payment was processed. I was told that it is a good idea to call the issuers of debit and credit cards and let them know you will be traveling and using the cards in locations they are not normally used. ........, Yep, I had that happen to me a coue years ago while in Tennessee. I made a size able purchase ms the card was denied. I was really embarrassed but the sales guy was really helpful and asked me if I notified my card co that I was traveling, which i hadn't. I called and got it lined out and all was well. Since then I do call ahead and tell when I'll leave, where going and approx return. It's a good thing. I do on my debit card. Amex says do not need to call. |
