Get the right travel credit card
Friday October 17, 2008
When you're travelling overseas, it might be safer for you to carry credit cards instead of cash. If your wallet is stolen, you've lost the cash permanently. However if you have travel credit cards, you'll be able to get them cancelled and replaced quickly. This way you won't be stranded without money.
Ring your credit card company to let them know when you're about to go overseas. Many credit card companies will be suspicious when transactions are made overseas and will put a hold on your credit cards. Keep the number of your credit card company in your mobile and in your suitcase for emergencies. When you get your travel credit card, make a note of all the details and keep them in a safe place.
When it comes to choosing the right travel credit card, you have many options. A Visa credit card and a MasterCard credit card are both accepted worldwide, allowing you to use them pretty much anywhere.
Visa credit cards come with a variety of credit card deals, including interest free days, competitive interest rates, and reward programs.
A MasterCard credit card is carried by many banks in Australia. MasterCard credit cards come with many competitive interest rates, annual fees and reward programs.
Compare credit cards and find the right travel credit card for you.
