Alert Credit Card Companies Before Traveling
 

Going on vacation and planning on using your credit cards?  Imagine checking into a hotel only to find out your credit card accounts have been frozen. Be sure to call your credit card issuers ahead of time to let them know you'll be out of town--especially if it's an international trip. That way, you won't be blocked from using your credit cards when you need them most. Card issuers may do that--for your protection--when unusual activity appears in your account. This is just to make sure thieves don't try to wipe out your account of all funds. 

 

Before you go, be sure to let your issuers (this includes GPFCU VISA Credit and Debit Cards as well!) know the dates and location of your travels.  This will help prevent any unnecessary blocks put on your cards!

 

We also recommend that when you travel, always have at least 2 forms of payment on you at all times just in case!
