My corporate Amex: Full Name,
Bank of Scotland Platinum: Full Name
I used the Personal Amex for Greek car rental 2-3 weeks ago without issue.
I don't have a middle name, so I don't know whether they would show it in full or just the initial.
Halifax Clarity is useful for use abroad, as they don't charge for cash withdrawals as long as you pay it off by the statement date.
Try just putting her name in the site instead of initials
I was told I either give up the booking and lose what I've paid (can't cancel same day) or pay for their premium non refundable insurance package which covers upfront any potential damage and requires no deposit. It was 2x what I paid originally. Late night, two small children, loads of luggage and 100km away from final destination. Had swallow it up and pay. Funnily enough I've paid for it with the very same card that was rejected minutes earlier and for that transaction it was accepted without issues. Barclaycard are investigating it whether the rental forced that payment on me.
@GoFish yes, I've already reported it to Barclaycard as per above. Bit of a dodgy practice to reject the card for deposit purposes and accept a minute later as a payment for premium insurance.
That just sounds like a full-on scam.
I googled a little bit and turns out similar rules at some of Greek car rentals too so not an isolated incident.
Like I said it was my bad for not checking prior to arrival, but it's one of those you never check, did it 1000s of times and would never thought they'd require something as stupid as that.
