Fraud Alerts? Declines? Just curious...  snowkitty wrote:  I
come here everyday and read a ton of posts on handling credit
and credit cards. I have came across posts about people getting
declined at the register and getting frauds on cards for
spending money outside of their usual. Each month I use a
variety of cards to pay for groceries, gas, bills, etc. I never
know which card I am going to use so nothing is set in stone.
Should I be putting stuff from each category (food, gas, bills)
on each card each month to play it safe?   Also, I am going out
of state for vacation this summer and I don't want to get any
"surprises" when I try to run my cc's. Are the declines/fraud
alerts that I read about something that really does not happen
that often or is it something to worry about? I just want to
take steps in advance.  Hey snowkitty!    fact of the matter is,
it all depends on your banks policy.    i have traveled numerous
times, never notified anybody,
