Before heading abroad, call the customer service number for each of your major credit cards and tell them the dates you’ll be traveling and the countries you’ll be in. It’s no fun to have your credit card declined on your foreign shopping spree because of “unusual spending patterns”. One call can also inform you of useful services they can offer during your trip, of how acceptable their credit card is in the countries you’ll be visiting, and of their exchange rate.
