Had you notified Ally before you left for Peru that you intended to use your ATM card there?

I always notify my Bank/Credit Union when traveling even if its within the USA as there is a possibility of someone who has somehow got your info trying to charge something while you are away. Years ago, I was in the Philippines and my card got canceled because of the Target attack. Someone actually tried to use my number to make transactions in the US while I was gone.
