We have our cards refused before now in Walmarts and when I rang the bank they said although we had rung them and told them where we would be and that we would have some large purchases the computer had said NO.

We have had the same problem, when we rang the bank they said they could put a note on the system of the dates we would be in the US but the computer could still stop any transactions untill they rang us for clearance. I pointed out that I would not be at home to accept the call if I was in the US and was told "well this is how it works" not very helpful.
