It’s one of those nightmare situations, but it happened to me. It can happen to anyone with a credit card, so we all need to be super careful.
Yep, that’s right, when I last went traveling, I lost my credit card. I was in the middle of Paris, couldn’t speak a word of French and was very close to losing my cool. I had been warned about pickpockets too, so I was freaking out that someone had stolen my card and was using it to buy up thousands of dollars of goods.
Thankfully that wasn’t the case, so I got lucky that time, but I have learned a good lesson from the experience. You should always be familiar with the policies related to card cancellation while you are traveling. Moreover, it helps to be aware of your card company's policy with regard to unauthorized purchases. Choosing a card with the right safety features from the start might help as well.
