    Hi can anyone tell me what I should do with my credit card! can you change address and have them post your bills to you in Florida and you pay in dollars? its so confusing because I still owe money on mine and will need to use it other there but can only pay by my statements! Help

    Its highly unlikely that you will be able to transfer the address to the US because normally the terms and conditions of credit cards require them to be registered to an address in the country they were issued. You should set up a standing order so the credit card company can take the required payment each month automatically.

    Also you will not know your full apartment address until you arrive and are assigned to an apartment.
