Beware of using other bank's ATM's!!
July 15, 2014 at 7:58 pm
The other day I used Huntington's Bank ATM to withdraw money. This is not my bank.
Got home and couldn't find my card. Suddenly, I thought "Oh no, I think I left it in the atm". So I called them right away. The man was very nice, asked for my name, then put me on hold. In less than a minute, he returned saying "Well I have some good news, and some bad news". I thought that was odd. Then he said "the good news is you did leave it in the machine, the bad news is our atm destroys any card that is not Huntington's."
I was floored. Still am. I did some checking on this, and sure enough it has happened to a lot of people. I'm not sure how this is even legal? Shouldn't there at least be a sign by the machine warning people ahead of time? Now I have to wait up to 10 days to get a new card.
Seriously?? I am beyond livid right now.

Ten days, for real? My bank I walk in and I get a new one right away
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

In fact I've never heard of a bank making anyone wait. Must be a American bank thing

I bank at a national (international?) bank and when fraud was reported on my card it took two weeks (10 business days) to get a new card.
The really sucky part is that I had the numbers on my previous card memorized and the new one isn't as sing-songy as the last one.

Or a national/international bank thing. I couldn't tell you what my credit union would do since the account I have with them is very limited; I can't even get an ATM card for it, I HAVE to go inside and give them my account number to get cash. It sucks. Then again, I use that account as my pet insurance account so it's not like I get cash from them every week, more like twice a year. Maybe.

Well I'm glad I haven't been in a situation like that, usually if I need to withdraw money which is rarely, I would just use the college ATM which I haven't had any problems.

I never use ATMs unless I don't have a choice. I go to a store.
Most frequently, there's a Kroger around the corner I go to when I need cash. It's perfect because there are no ATM fees (I have to make a purchase to get the cash, but I can make it less than an ATM fee, and I actually get something for the money I'm spending). Also, I can get cash back in any exact amount I want instead of that stupid "multiples of $20" crap ATMs force on you. I can get four cents back on debit if I want. And, my card never leaves my hand, so the OP's problem never factors.
