How to use your card safely and securely.

To help prevent fraudulent use of your card, here are steps you should take.

Sign new cards as soon as you receive them.
Keep your card account numbers and personal identification number (PIN#) in a confidential place.
Check your cards periodically to make sure none are missing.
Destroy and dispose of copies of receipts, airline tickets, travel itineraries, anything that displays your card numbers.
Memorize your PIN.
Check out unfamiliar companies by calling your local consumer protection agency.
Don't provide information that you're uncomfortable giving.
NEVER give anyone the password that you use to log on to your online account or Internet Service Provider.
Don't provide financial account information unless you are paying for a purchase using that account.
