Nationwide now need your travel dates.

I see now the Nationwide is requesting notification when you travel abroad if you intend using your Flex Account card or Credit Card. I accidentally discovered this on their website with the relevant web pages being last updated on 16/2/2011. Flex Account Card can be done online but CC requires a phone call.

I'm not allowed to post the link to Nationwide here, but if you search for Article 1693 on the Nationwide web site it will tell you how to notify them of your dates for your Flex Account - there's also a link to "Credit Card Going Abroad".
