Is there somewhere I can get my credit report for free? without entering a credit card number...?

A store will have the ability to type in the information but they will only use this in a case where the stripe is unreadable. They probably won't do this with no card because if it's a fraudulent transaction, they will have to eat the loss.

You need your credit card to make purchases at a store. Credit card fraud is increasing and a store employee would be instantly suspicious if you do not have the card with you. Employees follow a strict protocol when ringing up purchases.

If you cannot produce your card they will tell you to come back later with your card.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
