 TITLE: How to Use Your Credit Card’s Concierge Service CONTENT: How to Get the Most out of Your Card's Concierge Service\n--------------------------------------------------------\nCredit card concierge services available through your card issuer, payment network or bank can be accessible via phone, email, a specific webpage or an app. You can ask your credit card concierge to do any number of tasks, including ones you might not have thought of. Here are the main types of requests they cover:\n*   **Travel plans**: Credit card concierges are usually able to search for and reserve flights, hotels, other types of transit and even book activities and excursions. They're basically like a travel agent in your back pocket.\n*   **Restaurant reservations**: Heading to a new city and don't know where to eat? Your credit card concierge can pull up recommendations and make reservations for you. They might even be able to score a table at an eatery that appears booked up to the general public.\n*   **Event tickets**: Some credit card issuers have deals with agencies that sell tickets to major events like concerts and sporting events, so they may be able to get you preferred seating or spots in an arena that is otherwise sold out.\n*   **Personal shopping**: They won't send a personal assistant to follow you around a department store—but if you need to locate a hard-to-find item for yourself, or a gift for someone else, your credit card concierge can do the legwork tracking it down. What's more, they can probably arrange to purchase it and have it shipped or delivered wherever you like.\n*   **Lost and found**: Ever left something behind in a hotel room? Your credit card concierge can contact the property for you and make sure they look high and low for your lost item and then return it to you.\n*   **Search for services**: Need to find a store selling Danish antiques? Looking for the best pet spa in your area? Your credit card concierge can comb through listings for you and find the best-rated businesses in your area.\n*   **What they can't do**: Credit card concierges are veritable superstars, but don't ask them for services like booking medical assistance, tracking down classified information or running errands in person.
