Last weekend I had a minor disaster on a 600 regarding ATM's, on the first day, my card worked perfect and last used at 21:00 on the first night, at 06:15 next morning, I needed a POP and some cash, my card would not work in any machine, no shops open either unless I back tracked to an open garage but I was on my own at the time and being accosted by a drunk who I was beginning to think had done something to the ATM to prevent money coming out unless he removed something that was jamming it to think clearly. I just wanted to tell him to **** off and leave me alone. Having aprox £15 in cash and over 200K to go and it being baking hot day, would that money last out for food and essential water and use my camera for pics for POP. Finally at about 10:00 in the morning ATM's started accepting my card. But that has made me think of things that can go wrong with ATM's especcially as in the past I have had my card cancelled because I have had unusual use of my card in areas that I do not normally travel to. But the bank has now reassured me that they will always get in touch with me first to confirm things before cancelling it.
But, joking on the last few audaxes I have done, I have mentioned that Audax UK should get in touch with the banking organisations to have an option installed on ATM machines to just print a POP. Just insert your card or type in Audax membership number etc, select POP from the menu and hey presto, a piece of paper comes out of the machine with name, date, time and location printed on it.
