BARCLAYCARD $300?

I called Barclaycard to enquire about an online transaction. The Customer care staff informed me that Barclaycard(in Kenya) only allows online(internet) transactions upto US$300(without contacting cardholder). Above$300 the Cardholder must be contacted for authorisation.

So theoretically your risk for any online fraud is capped at $ 300. NOTE: I said theoretically because REAL LIFE EVENTS DIFFER from the best laid plans.

My first online transaction was $2 to PayPal. Nobody called. Then $37 dollars to Lynda.com. I got a call to confirm (!). Two months later, I blew almost all my credit on Amazon.com. They called, missed me, and SMSed. I confirmed by SMS. So it goes.
