[Air-L] Travel Tip!

[Ted Coopman]

All,

I have just discovered something that had changed since the last time I had
traveled overseas. I assume this applies to most nationalities since banking
is so global.

Before you travel, you need to call the 800 number (in the US) on the back
of any bank, debit, or charge card and let them know when and where you plan
to be traveling. Otherwise, when you use the card for the first time in a
country they do not expect you to be in, they will freeze the account. As
you might imagine, this would be inconvenient.
