One of the less fun things about getting ready to travel is contacting credit card companies. One card was easy, they don't care where we're going, we can use their card anywhere without letting them know in advance.
I've spent more time than I want to admit trying to get my second card approved. I want to take one visa card and one master card. I figure that should cover all my credit card needs. Our BP visa card was the easy one.
I happen to have two master cards, neither one of which seems to have a good system for dealing with travel requests. The last one put me on hold until a real live person could talk to me after the machine couldn't understand the word travel, and then hung up on me.
It's late and I'm tired so I will try again tomorrow, maybe. Or maybe I'll just take my chances, and if the card doesn't work I'll tell myself that I really didn't need pyramid, sphinx, and King Tut Christmas tree ornaments and magnets.
