Credit Card and Debit Card Travel Notification

I learned something else today as I continued my preparations for the trip. I never would have thought of contacting both my credit card company and my bank to notify them of my travel plans. The Commercial teller at Wells Fargo alerted me to yet another safety precaution.

He said to contact customer service, let them know when and where you will be traveling so they will not wonder about new expenditures on your card and possibly lock your card. You wouldn't want to find it locked when trying to use it and not know what was happening.

You should also get the international 800 numbers for your credit card company and your bank. In case of loss or theft you can call the international number and report your loss.

I learned from calling my Wells Fargo debit card customer service that there are different international 800 numbers for Ialy and for Greece. I will be making a hard copy of all this information to have with me so I will be prepared for even the worst case scenario.

My friendly banker told me he learned by experience. This is one case a person really can learn from someone else's experience.

I know! I also talked to the T-Mobile people and got their international 800 number so I can call and find out if the calls I am making or getting on my cell phone are working as I have set them up to with Skype. I don't want any unexpected surprises. Is that an oxymoron? : )
