i recently applied for a credit card..now how do i use it when i shop for goods and stuff?also what if it got stolen, what should i do? this whole thing is new to me

Details plz
thnx

you swipe it, and u sign the ticket, and u get ur receipt

if it's stolen, make sure u have the company's number on hand and call them RIGHTAWAY saying u lost ur card.

Just purchase anything and present the credit card at the counter/cashier. Make sure you ask if they accept charge and they accept the kind of credit card you're holding.

Make sure you pay everything when the billing comes in otherwise you get penalize with an interest.

Pay your bills at your bank or any branch of that bank.

When stolen, report immediately to your bank so they may block the card's validity long before the criminal can use it.

Just keep it in a safe place and dont use it all the time.

Well you can go to the shop and swip it through the machine, select credit and then sign you signature, (make sure your signature has a defining mark that is natural to you). if it gets stolen the best thing to do is to cancel, or put a hold on it, by calling the bank, also report it stolen, to the police.

dont get into alot of credit cards cause they will mess u up, if it get's stolen report it and nothing would happen 2 ur money

Well you sign the back of the card or put check ID on the back and hand it to the cashier when you buy something or sometimes you swipe it yourself at gas station pumps or some stores. Each place is different.

For theft write the number off the back of the card and your card # and keep it in a safe place and not by the cards.....
