There are some precautions that you should take while using your credit card. To protect yourself:
• Keep your card in view when you give it to a clerk.
• Examine each draft before you sign it, making sure that the total amount is filled in so that additional charges cannot be added later.
• Do not sign blank sales drafts, and make sure that incorrect drafts are voided or destroyed.
• Destroy any carbons from completed sales drafts so that others cannot use the information on the carbon paper.
• Promptly retrieve your card after use, and male sure that you get your own card back.
• Keep all your sales receipts and check them against your monthly statement. If you should find any discrepancies on your monthly statement, be sure to report them immediately to the card issues.
