11. Protect your personal information
Make sure your credit card information is protected throughout the holiday season, both at stores and online. When shopping online, check for privacy and security seals that indicate security and privacy measures have been verified. Be sure to read the online retailers privacy policy before providing personal information, and only give the information necessary to consummate the transaction.
When at a retailer, make sure the receipt doesnt include your entire credit card number. When shopping online, delete your cookies and browser history, and do not let websites store your credit card information.
