Worked for both RBS and lloyds tsb we don’t keep a record of this if you ring, dont waste you’re time the fraud checks are automatic, you can have you’re card stolen on holiday and then maxed out, so just telling us you are going to the USA wont stop us blocking you’re card when you try to use it there, just make sure you have the banks number so you can ring them, do the security checks and unlock it.
I was told by HSBC to let them know when I was going abroad to stop my card being cancelled. Perhaps they were lying, but that is what I was told by the bank.
Realistically I don’t think it makes any difference. I have had my card cancelled twice when coming back from holiday & I think it is more to do with a computer somewhere noticing that the card has had a week of no transactions, followed by several transactions on one day, upon my return from holiday.

everyone suggesting that he gets this card or that probably missed the bit where he’s leaving in a week
I don’t know how good they are in terms of exchange rate, but I think the Thomas Cook one can be sorted out in store if you take ID with you.
