Re: ATM ate my cards
[ QUOTE ]
I accidentally left my card in a machine once. Took a while to realize, and when I called, they told me that after a minute or so the machine would suck the card back in and destroy it. So I just called my bank and got a new one.

That makes sense, though I'm a bit puzzled why my bank asked me if it happened in one of their ATMs. Perhaps it varies from place to place. Then again, my bank also couldn't change the PIN number on my new card on the spot, but had to reissue (!) another card when I wanted to change the PIN. Is this standard? My bank before had a little device they could swipe it through to do this.
