If you haven’t needed a credit card up until people have been telling you that you need one, don’t worry about it. You really don’t ‘need’ one. The only reason that I got my credit card (aside to help with my credit score!) was for emergiencies-and that was at my family suggestion. I ended up applying for a card through my bank/federal credit union. They will be easier than any other place, especially if you have been with them for a while. Make sure you have NO annual fee. Aside from that, pick and choose.

Contact your credit card company. They monitor your activity for your protection and they might occasionally block a transaction that looks fishy. An online transaction overseas to a different currency certainly would be the type of transaction that would cause them to ask questions. Just contact them and tell them the charge is legitimate.
