Before you begin, take a few moments to gather key documents and record important information about your cards. Keep this on your person or retain it in a secure electronic file, but do not share this information, including any passwords, PIN numbers, or other access information, with others. Write down:
- Brand name on card;
- Card network for the card (e.g., Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
- Name of bank that works with the card company;
- Account number;
- Security code;
- Date of expiration; and
- Contact information for both the bank and card company
