Before you go
- Check your card to make sure it won't expire. Additionally, don't forget to confirm your credit limit and account balance
- Jot down your credit and debit card numbers and contact numbers for your issuer phone number, just in case
- Make sure you remember (but don't write down) your card PIN
- Let your card issuer know about your trip before you leave so unfamiliar transactions are not flagged as suspicious
- Purchase tickets using your Visa card for protection in case your tickets are lost or stolen or the airline delays or cancels your flight
