Using card in a abroad brothel

[TBC4141]

Short version... I'm in Malaga, heard all about Stark 92, visited there last night, but only had a beer, was going back tonight to expand on my experiences, but have lost my card and have next to no euros left.

I have revolut so could pay on virtual card, not sure how wise that is though, thoughts?

Get cash elsewhere using card or just get card couriered to your hotel

[TBC4141]

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean, I don't have a card

I’m guessing it’s a lost credit card.

If you’re paying by Revolut I don’t see any issues. Why think there should be ?

[TBC4141]

Just as I've heard of card cloning etc. Which to be fair, I don't even no if that's a thing with virtual cards

You said you had lost your card. Have you ordered a new one and are you getting it delivered to your hotel?

Well……… like anything to do with punting. Deposits, bank transfers etc etc.

If it’s going to cause you concerns………. Don’t !!!!

Sorry it’s not much advice. But as I always say. The less stress in your life. The better you feel.

It depends what appears on your credit card and whether it potentially being dodgy causes you a concern.

A new card wouldn't come in time to be able to withdraw cash, so I'd have to pay with the card loaded to my phone. Apologies if I haven't explained this properly.

I'm not concerned what shows up on my statement, it's more a case of if they clone my card.

If you’re worried about that use a disposable card. Its the main advantage of revolut surely

[lewisjones23]

Have you spoke to anyone at the hotel that you are on friendly terms with?

Explain you've lost your card and want/need some cash - can you transfer money to them and they'll withdraw it for you

In the Revolut app there is an option to create a one off virtual card, you can use it for only one payment (iirc) so there is no point in them cloning it.

Once you create it, it appears in your apple/google wallet on your device.
