Whilst travelling in South East Asia. I had my visa card stolen. When I called to Barclays to cancel my card I asked for a cash transfer and replacement card to be sent to my location. Barclays told me cards could only be sent to my home address and that to make a cash transfer I would have to return to my bank in the UK and make a transfer from there (14, 000 miles and £1200 airfares). SO BEWARE IF YOU LOSE OR HAVE YOUR VISA CARD STOLEN BARCLAYS WILL LEAVE YOU TO STARVE TO DEATH IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
