Except an online currency place then blacklisted you for a bad card, and basically you couldn't use them using a debit card. So I used the visa card which came with the VS amex.
I had a lot of problems using my Lloyds card abroad. I was able to call their fraud department and request a 1 year global travel unblock. That did the trick and never had a problem since.
Oh and mine didn't get stolen lately.
