Credit/Debit Card Sleeves
“More Americans are using debit cards, some daily,
and also getting all charged-up with their credit cards, bringing
the plastic debt to new record levels. Vulnerable consumers need
more reminders and help in the fight against accumulating debt,”
says the ICFE’s executive director, Paul Richard who created
the sleeves, also known as credit card "condoms".

|
The ICFE has the following
tips to consumers for using credit, debit and charge cards:
 |
Reduce the number of cards you carry and use
just one or two.
(Optional: Place credit/debit cards in protection sleeves.)
|
|
Use credit cards for purchases where you may
need consumer protection on a warranty or a return, or mail
order
|
|
Return all unwanted credit cards, cut up into
pieces, to the card issuer
|
|
Keep unused cards in a safe place.
|
|
Carry credit cards separately from your wallet
or purse.
|
|
Keep your card in view whenever you hand it
to a merchant.
|
|
Destroy carbon papers on receipts.
|
|
Never lend your cards to anyone.
|
|
Promptly report questionable charges.
|
|
Avoid signing blank charge vouchers.
|
|
Don't give card numbers out over the phone
on calls you didn't originate.
|
|
Enter charge purchases in your checkbook register
as though they were a check.
