When it comes to using your credit card either at a brick and mortar retail establishment or online over the internet, it's no safer online than it is at a brick and mortar retail store. If you're going to use it online, I would always use it at websites that are secured, where they have https as a secured website in the address bar, otherwise if it's not a secured page, I wouldn't use it. Otherwise, I do recommend that people go ahead and use your credit card. Have a blast. Have a party for yourself. But pay close attention to your statements and refute unauthorized charges within two billing cycles.
