I would like to report a piece of good news if that is not too boring.....
My Halifax Bank UK debit card got "eaten" by the Banco Popular ATM behind the Isla filling station in Sabaneta on Tuesday. My neighbour, who speaks better Spanish than we do, spoke to the bank in Cabarete and they told us we would need to ring daily to find out if the card had been retrieved... that was okay because on Thursday they said it was fine and awaiting collection. Today, Friday, we went to Banco Popular in Cabarete and as soon as I mentioned that is was a Halifax debit card I had the response of 'welcome Mrs. WB - just wait one moment'. My debit card was returned to me by Melvin in Banco Popular, Cabarete - the card was unharmed and uncut. A good experience.... am sure there are many more so please relate them everyone!!!
