I didn't put a freeze on my credit should I have do you think? This happened a few years back and I didn't freeze anything and it was ok. Real pain as it was the day before we left to come here and I couldn't get a replacement card as I wouldn't be home to sign for it, had to fall back on my second card no miles

Hubby relies on me to handle this kind of thing I don't want to screw up.

A credit freeze won't do anything to protect the cards/accounts you have open already. Just prevents a new account from being opened..
