[BITList] HOTEL SCAM

[FS]

Hugh
I find when Im abroad that I need a card to hire a car and book a hotel 
cash just doesn't get it, twice I have had to return home because my 
card has been stopped and this after making a point of telling the bank 
that I was going overseas, greeted with much apologies on arriving home, 
saved me a fair bit of money which would have been spent finishing my 
holidays, I had plenty of cash with me but one just cant hire a car with 
cash anymore and I didn't want to buy one
