I have taken HDFC Forex card for my Europe trip .
Initially I faced problem in activation .Fortunately I tested it by buying something online.
Even though they says that it is activated, it was not .So please buy something and test before going
abroad.
HDFC says that it will not work for sites which need credit card.
But majority of sites ask us to enter credit card and ideally it should work.
I tested it and I found it worked for a site but not another .
The problem is, I did not get the fund reversed till now .Transaction is done on 14th April and today is
26th April 2018 .HDFC does not know when this is going to be reversed .
Now my money is blocked and if this happens for few more transaction my whole money will get blocked .
There is no use of this money, if it is reversed after my trip.
HDFC announced a outage of multicurrency card recently .This is a risky affair, people who travel on that day
will certainly suffer.
For me it looks like system is buggy and we need to plan another card when you travel.
