CC forwarding

Hi,

Do new CC forward? I have all of my mail forwarded to my PO Box because I travel a lot for work.

Re: CC forwarding

I doubt it because of security reasons. More then likely returned to sender.

And that is a good thing.

If I'm not mistaken, most CC issuers will want you to give them a physical address that the card will go to, not even allow you to put a PO Box on the app. This is to prevent app fraud where one lists an address that isn't real. Collection later is a little challenging in that situation.

It's actually a federal law that came about after 9/11 I believe that says cc companies and other creditors must obtain a physical address and not a po box

Re: CC forwarding

I did put my physical address in the app, but I have my mail forwarded....IDK....I have read on other forums that it will forward just as any other mail does...I just wanted to see what others had to say or if others had to do this before
