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

I have been using my mastercard debit card tied to my checking account while on vacation for at least 10 years . Always worked fine . I did notify my bank of our travel dates . I called my bank from Ja after being denied twice at the Times Square ATM . no record of attempted transaction . I also tried it twice in Lucy with same result .

Pine Tree,
No real answer for you on this one. Usually when there is no record of the attempted transaction it means that the networks could not connect. There could be lots of explanations but generally it is an "offline" situation.

John, and others who said they could not get cash, it may have been the machine was out, which can happen especially during holiday or celebratory times (aka Bob Marley birthday 1st week in Feb). They do service and refill the machines frequently; I find going back an hour or so later it is able to dispense again.
