Before I head to Jamaica (Negril) for my yearly reach I call my CC company & give them the dates I will be there..as well as what the card will be used for...which is for only one thing....a sizable security deposit on my motorcycle rental from the guy I've been using for years. I use cash to pay for absoutely everything else..so low & behold I decide to pay some bills online for home (which I failed to tell the CC people since I knew I was going to do it) & about the third one in the card is declined telling to call the CC people security people. I did & after they propcessed all the security info they took the hold off..the travel info I gave them worked. I thank them for doing what they were supposed to do...protect us..& that said I've never had any CC issue's in/from Jamaica in the 22 years I've been going.
