I have seen lots of publicity lately about people going abroad and being stuck with no money because their debit cards have been suspended by their bank because of suspected fraud, so i thought I'd phone my bank and tell them I was going abroad to prevent experiencing the problem myself.
Apparently, though they can put a note on your file saying where you are going and when, the security dept do not check your file before canceling your card!!!!! so there is actually nothing you can do to prevent this except to make sure you have the banks phone number with you when you travel so you can ring them if you have a problem.
