Tips for New Credit Card Users:
- To decrease the likelihood of identity theft, sign the back of your card before using it.
- Be sure to read your cardholder agreement carefully.
Get the most out of your new card! Familiarize yourself with all of the card’s benefits and use them; sometimes perks like car rental insurance or roadside assistance are buried in the fine print of the cardholder agreement.
