stan wood Posted June 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2006 When we sailed in the Caribbean, we were advised to let our credit card companies know we were going so that they did not refuse a charge from "an unexpected locale". Would this be necessary and/or advised in Alaska since it is part of the United States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbee524 Posted June 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2006 We had no problem using our credit and debit cards in Alaska. But it couldn't hurt to let your credit card company know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted June 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2006 We had some phone messages from our cc company when we returned about some charges we had but they were all good ones. Forgot to let them know we were going. Best to call.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CStorm Posted June 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Every year we go to Colorado on a ski trip and every year about 1/2 way through the trip, American Express stops letting us charge until they talk to us. (Maybe it's just my DH trying to control my spending, I just thought of that!:rolleyes: ). Anyways, we plan to call before we leave this time.

Nancyquilts Posted June 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2006 We go to Alaska every year (grandchildren), but have never had trouble there. The only refusal I ever had was here at home at a gas station. Go figure. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenega Posted June 27, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2006 You should have no trouble up here since VISA and Mastercard are accepted everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
