Identity theft can ruin a vacation and cause a lot of grief and work. TransUnion provides the following tips to better protect your identity from thieves while enjoying a great vacation.
• Keep your credit cards near you at all times
• Be aware of your surroundings when using an ATM. Use one inside when available.
• Use hotel safes when you can’t take your cards with you. Be sure only you know the combination.
• Do not use your credit card number on public computers. If you have to do this, be sure it’s a secure site and your information is removed prior to leaving the computer.
• When using your credit card to pay, watch the transaction completely through. Be sure no one is writing down your number or taking a picture of your card.
• Never give your number to anyone over the phone, even the hotel staff. If someone at the hotel requests your number, walk down to the front desk to confirm the reason for the request and the validity of it.
