I was caught out in Hong Kong not long ago. Bought a book at the airport, then arrived in HK and went to buy something and had it declined. Called the bank and they said "it seemed suspicious that you bought something in melbourne, then a few hours later would be in HK." I hit the fucking roof. Had they not heard of a plane? The purchase in Melbourne was from a business with the word 'airport' in the name for fucks sake.

My cards get suspended about twice a month, it drives me crazy.
The banks stupid systems fail to recognise the fact that business is global. I pay for servers, software, BW, to different companies in different parts of the world, often I dont even know where their MID will be located. Then the banks "fraud" dept block the card because they decide that the card cannot be in two places at once. They have clearly not considered THE INTERNET !
This usually happens at the worst possible time, paying for a hotel or flight when travelling.
