• One of the most important things that you can do to avoid this situation is to call your credit and debit card company to make sure that they know that you’re going on a trip.
• I have done so much traveling in the US, they don’t make me do that anymore but definitely, if you’re going to a foreign country, make sure that you call them. Just give them a heads up.
• I have my favorite traveling credit card, which is my American Airlines Card. I can actually log in online and tell them I’m going to this country and they just accept it online. So it’s super simple to do. Make sure you’re doing that before you head out of the country.

Is Shauna, correspondent for Without Bags and today, I wanted to bring a story, if you guys have been following along with us, we’ve just come back from Washington D.C., our other business is a tax business, so we were fighting the good fight against the IRS. But as I was in D.C., you know, normally our headquarters are here in Arizona and as I was in D.C., one of the ladies at the conference said that her bank had actually turned off her credit card and she was stuck in D.C. with no way to access her money. Her debit card and her credit card had both been turned off.

So one of the most important things that you can do is call your credit card company, call your debit … you know, whoever’s got your debit card, your bank, make sure that they know that you’re going on a trip. Now, I have done so much traveling that in the US, they don’t make me do that anymore but definitely, definitely, if you’re going to a foreign country, make sure that you call them. Just give them a heads up. I have my favorite traveling credit card, which is my American Airlines Card. I can actually log in online and tell them I’m going to this country, that country, this country and they just accept it right online. So it’s super simple to do. Make sure you’re doing that before you head out of the country. The last thing you want to do is get overseas and have no access to your money.

So I hope you guys are having a great day and yeah, I guess we’ll talk to you later. Shauna with Without Bags. Make sure you’re traveling for fun. Bye.
