I called the international number you have provided. Today, my card was declined at the ATM again. I also notified him that I will be using my Bank of America card to withdraw below my daily limit from the ATM for the following three days. I spoke to an associate for about 15 minutes to un-block the card. I called the international number you provided (it is not collect, international roaming charges still apply) as this is the only to un-block the card. Yesterday, after 2 withdrawals from the ATM, Bank of America blocked my card.

This time around I tried using the BOA chat feature and completed the transaction in exactly 57 seconds. For years I have been putting a call in to BOA and wasting 20+ minutes transferring from here to there to here to there until I finally find the right person who can add the simple travel notification to my account. I have a Bank of America debit card that I use as a backup to my new No Foreign Transaction Fee ING Direct debit card. If you fail to alert your bank there is a high chance they will reject any transactions abroad if you have not alerted them as a precaution. Most big banks have an online travel notification form where you can alert your bank that your card will be used overseas.
