If you want to keep your credit cards safe, don't leave your wallet in an unlocked car. An Ohio woman recently had two credit cards stolen from her wallet after leaving it in the glove box of her unlocked car. She was only in the store for 15 minutes, but the thief managed to make a $400 charge on her card in less than two hours. Leaving your credit cards in your car is rarely safe, but if you have to leave them there, lock them in the glove box or trunk. When you return to your car, check to make sure your wallet and credit cards are still there. It's a good thing the bank had this victim's accurate contact information. That allowed her to find out the cards were missing before the thief was able to do more extensive damage.

Her friend ended up having to pay for her purchase. A declined credit card is embarrassing enough when you're a regular person, but when you're a celebrity (and I use the term loosely) and the world is watching, it's worse. If you don't want to be embarrassed at the checkout register, call your credit card company before you make a purchase to be sure your credit card is still active and that you have available credit. To be on the safe side, make sure you have enough cash on hand or in your checking account to cover the purchase. That way, you have a backup source of funding.

The ads claim you can get a free iPad and all you have to do is give out your credit card number to pay for shipping. Or, they want you to enter your mobile phone number so they can sign you up for a subscription service that's added to your monthly cell phone bill. The iPad currently costs between $499 and $829. If you see an offer to pay less than that or to get one for free, get suspicious. Read through free offers with an eye out for the "catch" because there probably is one. The iPad is available for pre-order through the Apple website - www.apple.com/ipad - or from an Apple retail store. Be on the watch for third-party scammers who claim to have iPads for pre-order.

Right now, credit card companies are charging the maximum penalty fee to the majority of their customers. If it's passed by Congress, the new rule could end that practice. The rule would stop credit card companies from charing fees that are more than the violation. For example, if you go over your limit by $5, your maximum over-the-limit fee would be $5. The rule would stop inactivity fees and prevent cardholders from being charged multiple times for one violation. You can let the Federal Reserve know what you think about the proposed rule by commenting at their website. Make sure you leave a comment for R-1584.

A MyFox New York story warns about fraudulent credit card and check card charges that appear to be from iTunes. The first signs of the fraud include charges or pending authorizations from a APL*ITUNES business for $1.00 which might seem to be accurate or an email for gift card receipts that were purchased with your account. The fraud is happening to a wide-variety of people who may or may not have an iTunes account. From the news story:
The high-tech scam has claimed victims from New York to California. At the heart of it all is Apple's wildly popular iTunes. Victims say it starts with an unexpected e-mail for purchases they never made. That's how Rachel Katz from Manhattan found out, "I got two emails thanking me for my purchase." But by the time victims get the e-mail receipt it's usually too late. The receipts appear to be legitimate, and come from Apple, generated by the user's iTunes account. The receipts show purchases for iTunes electronic gift certificates and charges that hit checking accounts, credit cards or PayPal depending on what the user has linked to his or her iTunes account. Some of the thieves wait for the $1.00 charge to complete before hitting the account with even higher charges. Sending an initial small charge through first allows the thief to determine whether the account is legitimate. Many victims of the fraud are having trouble fixing the situation. Neither the banks nor Paypal nor Apple accept ownership. Meanwhile, victims are left without hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Brett Larson with MyFox recommends deleting your credit card information from iTunes. Instead, he suggests you fund your account with an iTunes gift card. The cards can be purchased from many retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy. Or, you can make iTunes purchases with single-use credit card number available from your credit card company. I just deleted my credit card information from iTunes by going to Store --> View My Account. I clicked on Edit Payment information and next to "Credit Card" I selected the radio button next to "None." If you notice an authorization or charges from Apl*itunes, contact your bank immediately. Here are some Tips to Avoid Credit Card Scams and information about disputing inaccurate credit card charges. via Consumerist Watch Out for Unauthorized Charges From iTunes originally appeared on About.com Credit / Debt Management on Saturday, March 6th, 2010 at 02:05:33.

Credit card issuers are now required to give a minimum payment warning letting you know just how much you'll end up paying in interest if you make the minimum payment on your credit card. They also have to clearly state late payment penalties including late fees and penalty rates. Both these disclosures are supposed to be printed on the front of your billing statement. The rule applies to printed statements and if you check your billing statement online, you might not see the warnings unless you download the PDF version of your statement. Could this be the real reason why some private-label credit card issuers started charging consumers a dollar to receive paper statements? CreditCards.com reports that back in December of 2009, retailers who issue through Alliance Data Systems gave cardholders the option to get their statements online or pay $1 for paper statements. Of course, there'll be some customers to pay the fee because they can't or won't check their accounts online. The ones who opt for online statements could miss out on vital information about how much they're paying for credit.

After being hidden in ATMs and other credit card machines, credit card skimmers collect your data in what would have been a legitimate transaction. Waiters, retail clerks, and other customer service representatives can hold skimmers in their hands and swipe when you're not paying attention.

If you know you're getting a refund, you've probably already started thinking about how you're going to spend it. Buying consumer goods would stimulate the economy, but paying off some credit card debt would stimulate your get-out-of-debt plan.

I'd make charges and she'd pay the bill. We never talked about it, which we should have, and eventually she told me not to use the card. Guess it would have been nice if I'd have contributed to the payments. When you share a credit card with someone else, you can't take for granted that one or the other will pay the bill, because they might not. You have to discuss everything you'd naturally make a decision about like spending limits and payment habits. You have to think about what happens with the credit card if the two of you sever ties. Read Managing a Joint Credit Card for details on how to share a credit card with someone else. Pros and Cons of Joint Credit Card Accounts can help you make the decision to get a credit card with someone else.
