    Re: Be sure and check your bank balance daily upon return!!

    Ok, I was defending the use of ATMs for your travel money but maybe prematurely. Called Chase bank today to put a travel alert on my debit card and they refused due to my destination. They don't know if I will be able to withdraw funds or not. I've been warned in the past that the island was on a high risk list but have always been able to have a note placed on my card for the fraud department. I know there are other options, just makes everything a little more complicated.

    Chase just told me the same thing, 1st time in 15 years they refused to even enter a note. I called my credit union and that card and account are good to go in JA

    I've been a chase customer for a long time so this is very annoying and awful customer service. I wonder if this is what happened to me back in December when I couldn't get cash in Negril and they had no idea why when I called.

    You might have something there, they did tell me that any transactions could be denied but when asked if they might go through the answer was yes. It sounds like they do not know how to predict if approval may or may not be granted. For this reason I will have a backup, we really don't use any plastic other than our hotel and then at the airport dutyfree stores on our return.
