Beware - Visa Only "allowed" 50 Euro from ATM in Germany
Was travelling back through Germany two days ago and because I had
mistakenly booked a hotel that didn't accept cards and had spent all of my stash of Euro on an unexpected (unavoidable emergency) purchase I needed to get some Euro in a hurry. So went to the ATM and the bloody thing would only give me 50 Euro. Thought that it was because it was out of cash so I tried the one next to it with the same result. Then I noticed a sticker on it stating that "VISA" were restricting withdrawals to 50E. What's that all about? And what flipping use is 50 Euro a time. I'd be going to the machine every day with that restriction. Something which I really hate doing. Not to mention getting the charged minimum fee on my card for such a trivial amount (yes Visa, 50 Euro is a trivial amount!) Is it just this particular bank (Sparkassa) or a general rule? tim |
