Do this too, if I were you.
I’d be tempted to tell them you are back a day earlier than you actually are though.
I rang HSBC, told them when we were due back and used my card on the day of my return.
My card was cancelled & I received a call from the fraud department explaining that my card had been used fraudulently. All of the ‘fraudulent’ transactions were transactions I had made on the day of my return…..
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. .
