- Carry only the minimum number of credit cards you actually need.
- Know where your cards are at all times.
- Be aware of your credit balance at all times.
- Have a plan to pay off your charges before making a purchase.
- Always make your monthly payments on time.
- To prevent being a victim of credit card fraud, you must do all you can to guard yourself and your funds. In the event that your credit card is lost or stolen, immediately notify the credit card company.
