hope your visa drama gets fixed up soon Tonik! Yes, I let my Bank know where I am travelling and the dates. My story had a happy ending thank goodness. I was shopping in Ubud (2205) and bought some silver things at a jewellery shop and I used my Visa. Even though the purchase was only $20-30 they rang Visa to confirm the card etc. Then I went and walked out of the shop and forgot to take my Visa Card . Later that night I realised I had left it at the Shop, and rushed back but they had closed for the day (9 pm). I decided not to panic and not to cancel the card or lose any sleep, and was so pleased the next day when I arrived back at the shop right on opening time ... to see my Card sitting in the arms of a little buddah statue on the counter ..... (for anyone to knock off!!!) Unbelievable ... only in Bali!
