In each case the bank express-shipped me a replacement card to JA for $15 postage.

Barb111, I was at that gas station on Monday. I used the one in the gas station building and got JA dollars. I don't recall if there was an option for US. There is also an ATM in its own building near the road (still by the gas station) next to the entrance for the Craft Market. I haven't used it for a couple years and I don't recall what it dispensed.

With that being said, i take 2 different atm cards...Just as Lola stated ,I've know a few people whos card got stuck-and its not as easy as going into the bank and retreiving it...Whole lotta hoops to jump through over many days and miles to get the atm card back...better to call your bank and shut it down and use your back -up....

I also have one credit card for ermgency/large exoenzes if necessary,,
As do I because you never know if your bank will shut one down due to foreign transactions. Two different banks of course.
