We are uk based and used this for a trip to the usa.
Most purchases (at supermarkets went ok although it's not clear whether it's a debit or credit card), however at a beach restaurant the card came back rejected, ( i used another card to settle the bill).
After many phone calls i found out that the original unauthorised payment request had been rejected but the amount of the rejection was 'locked' in their system for a full 7 days on the card. The card therefore was useless whilst i was in the usa and i have had to wait until i returned to the uk 'sort out' the problem.
In the Uk all rejected transactions are rejected there and then with no 'carry over' for 7 days.
I would not recommend this card to any other uk user. If,there are any problems they are costly and time consuming to resolve.
