27 December 2005 No Comment

1. If you purchase in a local store using credit card, the counter will give you a receipt to sign. Please pay attention to the balance of the bill, you must make sure the number is correct. Use the same signature and handwriting that you done on your card. For security reason, please don’t left any empty bill without signature.

2. If you want to cancel any order, remember to tear up the bill and receipt. If the store is using computer online system to handle the credit card payments, you should ask them to give you a statement to countervail your original order. Please keep this statement as it can protect you and prove you had canceled the orders.

3. Make sure there is no carbon copy of your bill or signature.

4. Make sure your card is within your eye shot.

5. In oversea, please make sure the currency that printed on the bill because 1 EURO dollar and 1 US dollar is totally different.

6. If you shopping in the same shop, please group all your purchase and check out at 1 time. You probably will be rejected if you use your card several times in the same shop.

7. When make booking for hotel, hotel will ask you to provide credit card number as a booking proof and give you a booking number. In this time, if you want to cancel you order, please remember to ask the hotel to give a log out number and cancel order statement. This will be the proof of canceling order. If hotel asks you to sign an empty bill, please sign at the back of the bill. This will help you to make changes on the bills when you check out. Last but not least, if they give you a new copy of bill after making any changes, please ask the old bill and tear it up, this will protect yourself from any fraud.
