Using your card abroad: a short checklist

Before you travel, open the card settings and switch on payments abroad. Doing it before you leave saves a declined payment at the airport.

Check your plan’s fee for payments abroad on the Plans page. When a machine offers to charge you in dollars, choose the local money instead: the card network’s rate is usually the fairer one.

Save the 24-hour line, (555) 017-3300, in your phone. If the card goes missing, freeze it in the app first and call us second. General information, not advice.
