My point is just that this may be a great additional card to take when traveling but I wouldn't rely on it. For starters they don't even have 24/7 customer service (Major inconvenience when I've been trying to get ahold of them for over a week and am overseas - my card still doesn't work).
It sucks, but most banks and others do this to.

For banking/finance, always bounce off a US host. Set up logmein.com host or similar and go from there.
