Weekly Points: Europe Travel Ban, Travel Cancellation Policies, Checking Card Status and More!

Europe Travel Ban:  Well, it happened.  The POTUS declared a travel ban on entry of most foreign nationals coming from the Schengen area in Europe.  This is similar to the policy applied for China. Do your own due diligence when deciding to travel abroad.

Travel Cancellation Policies:  I thought it would be fitting to include a “one stop shop” link for current cancellation policies for airlines, hotels, cruises, etc, considering the current situation regarding travel.  Since many of us travel frequently and have upcoming plans, please take a look at these policies when weighing your decision.
