• To notify Credit One of upcoming travel plans, call Credit One customer service 24/7 at (877) 825-3242, and let the customer service representative know where you’ll be traveling and how long you expect to be away.
• Make sure your contact information on file with Credit One is up to date, should they need to reach you about any account issues.
• If you’re planning on travelling abroad for longer than 21 days, you’ll need to contact Credit One Bank again after the 21 days have passed to let them know. The international customer service number is (702) 405-2042, available 24/7.

A Credit One Bank travel notification protects you against potential hassle. If Credit One detects activity on your account from an unusual location and there’s no travel notification, it may be flagged as an unauthorized transaction. As a result, Credit One will decline the transaction and block any further activity on the account. You will have to contact Credit One and verify that you attempted to make the purchase before they will unlock your card.
