It's a good idea to bring emergency phone numbers for each credit card and debit card you bring with you, and store the numbers in a different place in case you lose your wallet or your cards are stolen. Here are the phone numbers for major credit card companies:

• American Express: 1-800-297-8500
• Discover Card: 1-800-DISCOVER (1-800-347-2683)
• Mastercard: 1-636-722-7111
• Visa: 1-800-847-2911
