My family are just about all with Barclays.
My dad didn't use one of his (apparently many
) cards for a while, then was on holiday in istanbul and tried to use it and it got refused. Embarassing for him, but nice to know.
When paying my tuition fees this year, I used an old cheque book - I seem to have about 3 on the go, and the last time I used this one was for tuition fees last year.
They phoned me up to check that the cheque was legit (they did the same to my brother, I think).
So yes, most banks do it.
I did hear of a problem with someone who went to france and had her card cloned, and then they took the card down the west coast of france and into spain, all with transactions of £20-30. As it looked legit, it was only when she got her statement she realised what had happened.
Clever thieves still win.
