I am a former Woolwich customer who was auto transferred to Barclays when they took over Woolwich building society. I used to travel all over Asia without problems on my Woolwich card. As soon as I transferred to Barclays they blocked my card every time on my first ATM airport transaction in a new country. They belittled me as I had to ask each hotel I arrived at if I could use their phone to get through to Barclays and have my card unblocked before they took a deposit for my room. Consistently blocked for ten years so please do not use B/card as your main credit card when travelling abroad. Their computer system blocks and no amount of phone calls to customer service before you travel can alter the computer algorithm. Secondly, December 2021, they put my credit limit down from £11,500 to £1,400 and I have not missed a payment on over 400 accounts in my Experian account for the last 15 years having perfect credit for most of the time (855 presently which is fair). I closed my Barclaycard account and transferred the outstanding amount to a Zero % card today and I recommend you do the same also if you can. The nastiest of all the banks who really do not care how they treat even their best customers. Avoid them at all cost.
