Lost a credit card when traveling?

Speaking of copies it is also a good idea to copy the front and back of the credit cards that you’ll be using when you travel. Be sure to get a local or international phone number and/email address for your credit card issuing companies. In the event you lose these then you’ll have a way to report the loss.

It is also a good idea to contact the credit card companies and inform them of your travel destinations and authorize that charges can be made in these locations. For security reasons your card may not work when you’re out of normal geography so a little pre planning can prevent a down the road problem. I’ve experienced this problem in the states. An Ohio resident with thousands of dollars of available credit I tried to use my card in Massachusetts and my charges were declined. It took about three hours and four calls to customer service before this situation was straightened out. Another solution is to carry more than one credit card. I have my primary card then one or more backups.
