29 days to Spain and I am tending to details.
Today, I learned something new about credit card purchases that I thought might be helpful for others. I am not certain where to post this, but since it involves preparation I will try here.
When you begin charging on your card from an 'unusual location', Visa and Mastercard might deny the charges until they receive verification FROM YOU that the charges are not fraudulant.
To avoid this, all you have to do is call the customer sevice number and notify them where you will be and for what dates. Visa also asked me if I would be making large electronic or jewelry purchases.
This recently happened to my husband, and it was a bit awkward until we got things straightened out.
