One to use, one for emergencies (when I have overspent my daily cash limit) and one for the suitcase in case the other two are stolen.

The other thing that MBNA told me was that most credit cards have to be "authorised" to be used abroad. I did not know this and thought perhaps it was just flannel. But it might be an idea for your mate to check with the bank in any case.
