Yes, if you have no intentions of paying that month.
Otherwise, no, if your going to pay on time.

I do not think it is necessary to call to let them know where you are.

yep - I would let them know your travel plans
that these countries will be ok

notify upon return - because - you do not want to get there
and the fraud department lock you down until they get a hold of you

and BTW - get their phone numbers for the countries you will visit - so you don;t have to go looking for them!!

have a great trip!

Yes, not only them, but also your health insurance provider. Should something happen while you’re gone, they will be more likely to provide coverage.

Yes , notify them , cause what they do sometimes is put a block on your card ( they thinking it is fraud that your card is being used in different country )

Yes, especially if you are going to use them. You live in one country, if they see your card pop up in use on the other side of the planet.. they will probably deny the transactions. Which will suck for you if you can’t pay for your hotel room or something.

Unfortunately, this is how it is, the Internet is global and fraud is global.

You can check your accounts online from anywhere there is Internet access. If you have not signed up for you card’s online accounts….then do so……FYI: 30 days late on a bill will cause a sig. drop in your FICO score.
