    im currently travelling in the US and after using my card for 2 weeks it was locked, and without ability to ring any Irish numbers on the site for customer service, trying to find alternative to getting unlocked.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us here on Boards.ie.

    It's possible your card has been restricted for security and we would advise checking your registered mobile for a text from our card security team. The team will only ask if you recognise a transaction and for you to reply with Yes or No or may ask you to call. The text will never ask you to click on a link. You can reach Card Security from outside Ireland on +35314885466 or the number kindly provided above.

    Thanks

    Tara

    Firstly, getting a payday loan is the absolute worst idea ever. Credit cards are an extremely useful tool. But if a person isn't financially mature enough to use it responsibly, the last thing they should do is start going for payday loans.

    Also, the payday loan provider you recommend is for the US and not available in Ireland, so no idea why you recommend it.

    But all of this has nothing to do with the OP's problem.

    @blapabrew22 - Did you follow up on Tara's recommendation? Did that resolve the issues? Do you have any other cards and are they working?
