The couple you mentioned almost certainly had 1 card from 1 provider, the advice is always have multiple cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx) from multiple providers in different groups e.g. NatWest and Lloyds not Lloyds and Halifax
That said, payment for 1 provider down for several days? Not that I have heard of - a day maybe, or several hours at mostSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
