Try standing in line in a tiny airport at a foreign country's customs desk and having the credit card company block your transaction [both cards!] for your entry fee and having no cellular reception nor any other way to contact anybody. Luckily I wasn't traveling alone and we had another card, which went through. I wasn't able to clear it up for two weeks and had no credit card! Luckily my ATM card worked and I was able to get cash every few days.
