At least one of my credit cards is "joint" with my wife, and we do
sometimes travel abroad on business individually. The bank in question
doesn't seem to be able to cope with the "same" card being used on two
different continents on the same day.
On one hand it's nice to know they are looking out for abuse, on the
other hand the department which phones and asks if there's "anything
up", doesn't appear to understand the concept of two cards on one
account; which is a bit worrying, really :(
