Credit cards have long been firmly embedded in our daily lives. But there are still people who categorically do not recognize them, preferring a credit card to a familiar wallet with cash bills. The main reason for such dislike of "plastic" is the fear of cards and ATMs. Recently, I came across comments once again that an ATM had "eaten" a plastic card. If this has already happened to you (would you agree, a rather unpleasant situation?), then do not get upset. And here are some simple recommendations for such a situation:- Always keep an eye on the validity period of the card and change it on time (if you see "08/12" on the card, it means that it is valid until August 31, 2012). - If the ATM does not return the card or the money was not issued in the amount you requested (or worse, it was not issued at all, but was withdrawn from the account), do not panic. The main thing in this situation is to take a check, which will definitely be issued in this case, and also remember the time of the operation. You will need this to resolve the issue. And you will have to do this only at the bank, and do not forget your passport and INN. - Make yourself an additional credit card for emergencies. In order not to run out of money in these very cases. For example, if you already have a Visa, let's also have a MasterCard. Just in case. - If you don't like ATMs, there are two ways to avoid them: withdraw cash at the bank's cash desk, or always pay with a card (fortunately, terminals are now available even in the smallest shops). - If you always withdraw the last money, do not be lazy and order a credit card with a small limit (up to $ 100) and, in an emergency, hold on to this money for a couple of days if the ATM has withdrawn your card. - Be sure to pay attention to the appearance of the ATM - in most cases, the malfunctions are visible to the naked eye. And notice if the ATM has any devices that are not intended for it, as there are quite a lot of different scams being carried out in this way. - If the card is withdrawn by an ATM, then block it without fail. This can usually be done for free from landlines, or by using short numbers (if available) from a mobile phone. So, to summarize: stay calm, block the withdrawn card, get a credit card or just an additional card, pay with the card through the terminals, remember the danger of "phishing" and remember the validity period of the plastic card.
