We recently ran across this post on Melibee’s blog and thought everyone heading abroad soon should take a read.
The full article can be found here.
The main takeaway points that author Missy Gluckmann points out are:
- Read the credit card agreement
- Have a plan for when you will and won’t use the credit card
- Notify the credit card company of your upcoming study abroad and tell them where you plan to study and travel
- Chip cards with a PIN (personal identification number) can often be more efficient abroad
- Sign up for an online bill payment to pay your credit card bill
If you’re headed on one of our programs soon, then be sure to read your Program Handbook thoroughly for all our suggested tips regarding money, credit cards and debit cards.
