Question

20 a security precaution that can be taken with a credit card is to ______.

keep the receipts for purchases readily available
share your card number with friends and family
keep your account number and pin number in your wallet
sign the back of a new card

Explanation:

Analyze the security implications of each option

• Keeping receipts readily available is good for tracking expenses but does not directly prevent unauthorized physical card use.
• Sharing your card number with friends and family increases the risk of unauthorized transactions and compromises security.
• Keeping your account number and PIN in your wallet is a major security risk because if your wallet is lost or stolen, a thief has immediate access to your funds.
• Signing the back of a new card is a standard security precaution that helps merchants verify your identity by comparing the signature on the card with the signature on the sales receipt.

Answer:

• keep the receipts for purchases readily available
• share your card number with friends and family
• keep your account number and PIN number in your wallet
• sign the back of a new card (Correct answer)
