20 Years Helping You Live Richer

Reviewed by Experts

Trusted by Millions of Readers

You’re checking in at a hotel for a weeklong stay at a luxury resort across the world, or across the country, and the agent at the front desk informs you that your credit card has been declined. How can that be, you wonder? You have plenty of credit available, and your monthly Netflix charge is the only action this card ever sees.

Given the sparse use of the card and the lack of any prior travel purchases, your issuer flagged your account for potential fraud. That leaves you stuck in an embarrassing situation at the desk, along with a problem you must fix before your vacation can proceed.

Financial institutions employ a mix of algorithms and artificial intelligence to keep your account safe, and atypical transactions or expenditures could raise suspicion — and be declined — if they don’t fit a pattern of previous purchases. That’s why some banks advise you to notify them if you’re traveling out of your home region or making an unusually large purchase, even in your own ZIP code, to assure the transaction will occur without a hitch.

Notifying Your Card Company

When you’ve confirmed your travel dates and destinations, many banks advise that you take the extra step of notifying your credit card company of the details so that you can travel confidently. Wells Fargo, for one, recommends calling to speak with a customer service representative or adding your travel plan via your online account or mobile app. Citizens Bank, U.S. Bank, Citi and PNC Bank are among other banks that accept travel notifications online.

However, a growing number of major banks no longer advise letting the bank know of your travel plans because of their own increased security measures, with Bank of America, Chase and Capital One among them.

“With the added security of your Capital One chip card, travel notifications are no longer needed on your credit card,” reads a notice posted to Capital One cardholders. “You don’t have to tell us when and where you’re traveling, inside or outside the United States. Your credit card is 100% covered for fraud while you’re traveling and we will alert you if we see anything suspicious.”

Taking Extra Steps Before Travel

One area where the banks agree is the need to update your mobile account before your departure to keep your account secure while traveling. With 89% of respondents in the Insider Intelligence’s Mobile Banking Competitive Edge Study saying they use mobile banking, the majority of credit card holders can help themselves.

Banks, such as Capital One and Bank of America, advise making sure your contact information is up to date. If your cellphone won’t work internationally, it’s vital to have a current email address on file — and be sure to monitor the account. Then, set your account to receive alerts in case the bank needs to notify you about activity on your card. With many card issuers, you can sign up to receive instant notifications of purchases to help you stay on budget — and also to remain confident that no one else has tapped into your account.

Through mobile banking, you also may freeze your account should you misplace your card while traveling.

Following Other Travel Tips

Wells Fargo recommends traveling with two credit cards — one you carry with you as your primary mode of spending and a secondary that you keep secured in a separate place in case you lose or experience another problem with your main card. Also, make note of the bank’s international customer service number should you need to get in touch while on the road and store it with your passport, per Wells Fargo. The number likely is on the back of your card.

Bank of America also recommends making two copies of your credit cards, as well as your passport and other travel documents. Take a copy with you on your trip and store it in a secure place; leave the second one with a relative or trusted friend. Or, upload photos of them to the cloud to access your data from abroad. So far from home, it’s wise to have access to this vital information in the event of loss, theft or another unforeseen event.

If in doubt about your bank’s preferences when it comes to hearing your travel plans, reach out and ask, either in person with your teller, by telephone or via online chat. The adage “better safe than sorry” certainly applies here.

Visa-free travel to Russia

Several countries now have bilateral agreements in place with the Russian Federation to allow visa-free travel to Russia for their citizens. Unfortunately, however, there is no indication that similar agreements will be reached with the EU, the US, or the UK any time soon.

If you are not a citizen of one of the countries below and do not hold a diplomatic passport, the only other way to visit the Russian Federation without a visa is on a cruise ship to St. Petersburg. This exemption allows you to stay in the city for up to 72 hours without a visa on the condition that you are sleeping on the ship and are accompanied at all times by a licensed tour guide. If your cruise calls in St. Petersburg for 48 or 72 hours, there are companies offering shore tours which include a day in Moscow.

The same visa-free regime is applied to passengers on ferries from Helsinki and Tallinn operated by the company St. Peter Line, although in the case of ferry passengers you need to book your own accommodation. Again, it is possible within the 72 hours to visit Moscow as well. You can find out more about visa-free tours to Moscow and St. Petersburg here .

Nationalities which can travel to Russia without visas are divided into four groups with different requirements and different limitations on length of stay for each group. Even if you do not need a visa to enter Russia, you will certainly need a passport valid for at least six months after the date of your proposed exit from Russia, and you may require other official documents. You will also, like all foreign travelers in Russia, still need to register with the Federal Migration Service upon arrival.

Citizens of the countries of the CIS (the Commonwealth of Independent States) are permitted to stay in the Russian Federation for up to 90 days without a visa.

Citizens of these countries are allowed to stay in the Russian Federation without a visa for up to 90 days in each 180-day period, provided they will not be involved in any commercial or work-related activities during their stay.

Citizens of the countries in this group can stay in the Russian Federation for up to 30 days without a visa. They are not entitled to work while in Russia.

Citizens of these Balkan countries can also stay in Russia without a visa for up to 30 days, but must also show tourist documents (tourist confirmation and tourist voucher) or an official invitation to immigration officials.
