4 Financial Tips for a Stress-Free Vacation

Sand, sun and relaxation? Count us in! There is no room for stress or frustration on your trip.

After all, vacations are meant for leaving stress behind—not packing it in your suitcase. As you plan your getaway, explore these easy ways to make the most of every moment and leave your worries behind.

Enable Card Controls

Card controls are easy to set up and allow you to manage all your debit and credit cards in one place. Think you left your card on the beach? Simply lock it until you locate it. Want alerts each time you make a purchase—whether at the grocery store or the seafood dinner you’ve been dreaming of? You have that option as well.

Use our Visa Signature® Card

While you relax, earn cash back with every purchase you make on vacation (you can choose between cash back or points!), from pizza on the boardwalk to that souvenir t-shirt. With no foreign transaction fees, enhanced benefits and no annual fee, it’s the perfect travel companion for every trip.

Add Cards to Mobile Wallet

All our cards are compatible with your mobile wallet, making everyday purchases quicker and more secure. Adding your cards means you will always have them with you—even if you leave your physical wallet behind.

Keep Your Cards Safe

Always be mindful of where your cards are. Store them in a secure, easily accessible place and never leave them unattended. When traveling, consider carrying only one credit card and one debit card, and leave any extras at home to minimize risk.

We hope you enjoy your vacation and use these de-stressing tips as you hit the road toward your next destination.

Get Rewarded Every Time You Spend

Earn cash back or points on all purchases. Plus, enjoy deals, discounts and plenty of perks like low monthly payments.
