Hey Natwest bank, if I announce on Twitter that I'm in Washington DC you could maybe look at that and not block my debit card #vrm #idiots

This tweet prompts some questions:
  1. Is it possible to link your Twitter account with your bank account?
  2. If it is, have you done so?
  3. If you have, have you worked out how Natwest Bank's computer system is meant to scan your tweets in order to determine where you are? Is it meant to find a particular hashtag for your location?
  4. What about the dates you'll be in that location?
  5. How do you tell Natwest Bank, via Twitter, that you've changed your dates for that location, or your location for those dates, or that you won't be traveling after all?
  6. Do you work in IT?
