Here we are at Camp Gotchurwallet. We were walking into a local Walmart when my cell phone rings. Credit card company alerting me that somebody was trying to make some charges to my account. One for $500 and another for $100 (and change). The larger to some dress shop and the other to someplace in Canada. Both will be held and not charged to me.
Drawback is that now my card is cancelled until the replacement (new number) comes in the mail...which is 200 miles away and on hold. So, for the remainder of our stay, it's Mr. Cash. Good thing there's a credit union up here that I can access without ATM charges.
Just something to think about as you travel to have alerts set up on your credit cards to warn you if certain things happen.
