> Another time a bank blocked my card because I was travelling and they thought it's a fraud. I was traveling recently and when trying to pay for a hotel room the transaction was declined. I needed to call my bank to explain that I am traveling, so they tuned down their anti-fraud alerts. Thankfully, one phone call was all it took to resolve this. However, this block was only triggered because the transaction in question was relatively high amount ($1500), the very same card would still work perfectly for small transactions.
