Hints from Heloise

Dear Readers: With debit/credit cards so popular these days, I thought I would share some important hints to keep in mind when using your card:

“ A debit card should be treated just like it is cash. The cards that have the credit feature can be used like a credit card.

“ Be sure to keep your receipts from transactions so that you can check them against your monthly statement.

“ When using your debit card, try to shield the keypad so that people standing around you can’t see the number that you enter.

Following the above hints should be a good card-safety measure for all of us. — Heloise
