 TITLE: How Your Credit Card Can Protect You When You Travel CONTENT: Emergency Assistance\n--------------------\nThere's no telling what can happen to you when you are traveling, especially in a foreign country. So it's nice to know that most credit cards have a service that assists you in the event of an emergency. For example, your card's 24\/7 hotline could offer you medical and legal referrals or security and safety advice. The Discover Card's Travel Assistance service can even help you replace prescriptions and eyewear, advance medical expenses, or relay messages to your family in an emergency. END
