So my dad and I go into Scotiabank to get a cash advance on his MC. This card is set up so it won't work in an ATM and only work inside a bank or to make purchases.
The cashier says it will work in the ATM, even after numerous attempts to explain to him it won't. So I tell him come and see for himself that it won't work. After using both machines, a lady comes over and says she will help to get a cash advance and takes the card and calls a number. After her call she says the card is blocked.
I tell her that its not and I could go to Janets and buy stuff there, or go to the gas station and purchase gas, beause the cardnet machine and ATM are different. But the typical Dumbinican mentality takes over and she says that the card won't work anywhere......LOL.
Long story short, we walked into Popular 10 minutes after and got a cash advance in less than 3 minutes. No hastle, no stupid questions, just show passport, credit card, and boom you have cash.....
Anyway, if you want anything that represents customer service in a bank in this town, DONT go to Scotiabank, go to Popular, or any other bank in Cabarete
