Lloyds TSB cancelled one of my credit card when I flew into Hong Kong.
They could have called me before doing this, but they didn't.
When I finally got through to them, they said the process to
reactivate the card could take a few days.
Great, so you can . it up easily, but you can't un. it without a
great effort. I changed banks after that.
