Hey everyone,
today is Tuesday and there are only 4 days left here in Ireland – Dublin. Time for a new advice. 🙂
Get a credit card!
I know some of you already own one, two or maybe more, but for those people who do not thought about it…should. Even if you do not need the credit card in your home country, it could be very useful in others. Many credit institutions allocate them for free. The big advantage is, that you mostly (it depends on your credit institution) do not pay any transaction fees and It is also very easy to pay with them. Besides most of the shops accept them. Before you go to another country, inform your credit institution that you will make a journey. Otherwise it could happen that they lock your credit card for caution’s sake and it become useless. 😉
Be careful!
If you want to buy something with your credit card, you do not need to key in your PIN number. Mostly it suffices that you sign the receipt. As much more you should look that you do not lose your credit card. Other people could buy something with it without your PIN.
Just in case safe the emergency number from your credit institution in your mobile phone.
Yours George
