Can Home Depot Look Up My Credit Card in Store?

Home Depot is one of my favorite places to shop. For the most part I have very safe and secure credit cards that are issued by this great company. I enjoy being a loyal customer to Home Depot and I always buy what I need there. I am always careful when making purchases at Home Depot and am always thankful that I can look up my credit card online and do it from my computer with ease and comfort.

When I was shopping recently, I went to look up my credit card online and was a little bit dismayed with the results. I thought that Home Depot should be a place that I would be able to look up my credit card online and make purchases from, but I was rather dismayed with the results. The website did not allow me to look up my credit card online. When I asked about this they told me that they only issue one kind of card and that was a store credit card. So now I had to figure out a way to purchase more things at Home Depot and I had no choice. I had to call them and find out another way that I could pay for the items that I bought there.

Eventually I was able to find an employee that was willing to give me the use of a debit card from my store account. I used this type of card to make the purchase and it worked out great. I was able to use my debit card to pay for my items and since the items were paid for in cash, the transaction was completed fast. It was just a matter of time before I was able to look up my credit card online and make purchases again.

This is a great way to be able to shop online and have the luxury of looking up your credit cards while you are doing it. You can feel secure knowing that you do not have to wait and wonder if someone else had the same card as you and went ahead and made the purchase. It does not really matter what anyone else has in their credit card account. You can look up any card that you want to and you can get instant results.

There are also many other uses for having a copy of your credit report and this is something that you should make sure you have if you are looking to make any type of purchase over the internet. Sometimes people are not comfortable with using plastic at a checkout lane because they feel that they do not know who or where they are dealing with. Using your debit card to make your purchases makes it very easy to avoid being a victim of fraud because the retailer will see that you have a copy of your report and the cashier will be happy to give you a receipt to show you proof of the purchase. If the item was not paid for in cash then the store may require you to leave a key behind. There is nothing worse than having to leave a key under the dresser only to come back and find out that the dresser did not have any clothes in it. Having a copy of your credit report is going to help you avoid these types of situations.

Having a credit card makes life much easier but there are times when using it can be problematic. If you feel that you have been a victim of fraud then you need to make sure that you know how to go about having your name taken off of the card. There are companies that specialize in protecting the rights of others and you need to make sure that you are aware of the rights that you have in this situation. The best way to do this is to look up your credit card information at one of the three major credit bureaus; Discover, Equifax, or Trans Union and request that a copy of your credit report be sent to you via e-mail. This is a free service that is provided by the three credit bureaus and it is easy to dispute any items that do not appear on your statement.
