You do not have to give Barclaycard a travel notification, though doing so before leaving for a trip will help prevent your purchases from seeming fraudulent to Barclays. Travel notifications for Barclays credit cards can be set online or by phone at 1-866-928-8598.
If you don’t notify Barclaycard about your travel, they might put a hold on your card when you try to make a transaction at your destination. To sort things out, you may need to answer security questions and speak to a fraud specialist over the phone. Barclaycard’s international customer service number is 1-302-255-8888. If you’re traveling domestically, you can call 1-866-928-8598.
How to Set a Barclaycard Travel Notification
- Log into your Barclaycard account online or with the mobile app.
- Select the “Tools” tab and click “My Travel.”
- Enter your travel dates and destinations.
- To set a Barclaycard travel alert by phone, call 1-866-928-8598, enter your card number and ask to speak to a representative.
You can set a travel notification even after you leave for your trip, so don’t worry if you’ve forgotten. And if you end up with a hold on your card, you can call Barclaycard 24/7 to get it lifted.

If you have a trip coming up, it’s best to tell you credit card issuers you’ll be traveling, and Barclaycard is no exception. This is done to avoid problems, and with Barclaycard you can set a travel alert online, or by phone. Credit card issuers often block a card if they think there’s suspicious activity on it, and that’s why it’s recommended you let them know before each trip.
