A lot of the banks in Mexico and Baja have done away with the magnetic strips and gone to chips on the ATM cards.

I've got the chips. This started on March 12 and still our cards did not work on March 27th in Baja Sur. Ensenada and San Quintin were okay. We use
several different banks for our cards so it was not one particular bank it was 3 of the banks. Two were Canadian and one was a global one so I am
thinking that something was going on with the local banks here in Vizcaino and GN. I have a Mexican account also so I will check in with the bank
next week. :/

I hadn't read thru all the posts to see that you have several cards and tried several towns/ATMs.
very odd, indeed.

I have FOUR ATM cards and frequently get many responses out of BanComer ATM machines using one after another:
1. Card is not readable
2. The RED (network) is down.
3. Your bank does not authorize this transaction
4. You are bankrupt
5. Out of service
6. Only 100 pesos total is available at this time.
With a seventy some-odd peso fee, BanComer can kiss my ***. I just know if I keep using the machine in Vizcaino something weird is going to happen
like, it will swallow the card and the screen will read.
"Stupid! We tried to warn you 44 times that we do not want your business!"

WOW......and Bancomer charges 70Ps for each use of their machine while all others are in the 25Ps range. |
